PDLP Chapter 427 General Jiang, save me!
Chapter 427 General Jiang, save me!
Seeing that she was obedient, Lu Lingsong let her go.
Lu Lingsong said quietly: "If you are obedient, I won't make things too difficult for you."
The carriage gradually went away, and Qin Suyi didn't dare to say a word.
In Prince Yi's Mansion, Qin Beihuang was still looking at the carriage, and Qin slowly walked forward.
"Brother, didn't you hear it? Qin Suyi is asking you for help."
She saw it all.
The look in Qin Suyi's eyes when she looked at her brother was full of the desire for help.
Qin Beihuang came back to his senses, held her shoulders, and said seriously: "No matter what you saw, just pretend you didn't see it! Got it!"
"Don't say anything, and don't ask anything!"
Qin gradually became confused, but nodded anyway.
Qin Beihuang was relieved.
He also felt a little guilty, but there was no other way, there had to be a scapegoat.
Behind the bushes at the corner, Aunt Xun heard these words clearly.
I was extremely worried.
After thinking it over, she turned around and left through the back door, quickly taking a shortcut to chase after Lu's family.
But when they arrived at the Lu family, they were still a step too late.
Their carriage had arrived at the door. Lu Lingsong dragged Qin Suyi into the gate roughly. Qin Suyi's eyes were full of fear and there were traces of tears on her face.
Nanny Xun's heart was in a knot.
At the same time, at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Jiang Ningwan received a secret report from a spy.
"Madame Xun went to the Lu family and secretly observed Qin Suyi?"
Jiang Ningwan frowned slightly, "It seems that Qin Suyi is very important to Madam Xun."
"Even the Lu family is being watched."
The guard responded respectfully: "Yes!"
In the following days, Nanny Xun would appear stealthily not far from the Lu family every day, observing secretly.
She would bribe the maid in charge of purchasing in the mansion to find out something.
This went on for three to five days, but she didn't find out anything, but she remained persistent.
Jiang Ningwan was really curious about what this Nanny Xun was trying to find out every day.
So he simply found an excuse to hold a horse racing meeting and invited the princess to attend.
The horse racing meeting had already started a long time ago, but the princess had not yet arrived.
Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi sat together, looking towards the gate from time to time.
"Will she not come?" Pei Xunzhi murmured.
Jiang Ningwan did not give up and sent someone to invite him again.
You can always come.
Sure enough, Qin Suyi finally arrived when the horse racing was about to end.
It was almost evening now.
"The princess is finally here. I thought you wouldn't come."
Jiang Ningwan greeted her and wanted to ask her to sit next to him, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a carriage outside the gate.
And Lu Lingsong, who was standing next to the carriage, was looking gloomily in their direction.
Are you staring at Qin Suyi?
It's really eerie.
Qin Suyi smiled embarrassedly, "I have something to do at home and can't leave. I'm late, please don't blame me, General Jiang."
"No, sit down."
After Jiang Ningwan finished speaking, she pulled Pei Xunzhi away.
Pei Xunzhi asked in a low voice: "Didn't you want to ask her something? Why did you leave?"
Jiang Ningwan: "Lu Lingsong is here too, watching her from outside."
"It's better not to talk to her."
After Qin Suyi sat down alone, she began to observe her surroundings, looking in Jiang Ningwan's direction from time to time.
If Jiang Ningwan hadn't invited her repeatedly, she wouldn't have been able to go out. Jiang Ningwan might have been able to save her.
Thinking of this, she stood up and walked towards the small pavilion next to her, passing by Jiang Ningwan.
He whispered, "General Jiang, please save me."
Jiang Ningwan was startled and looked back.
Qin Suyi deliberately lifted her sleeves, revealing the bruises and scars on her arms.
Then he quickly put it down and walked straight past.
Jiang Ningwan turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to drink tea and eat snacks with Pei Xunzhi.
"Her hands are covered with wounds, did you see?"
Pei Xunzhi nodded, "Who beat her like that?"
Jiang Ningwan looked at Lu Lingsong in the distance.
Lu Lingsong leaned against the carriage with his arms folded, staring at them intently, feeling a little scared.
"Who else but him would be so obsessive that he would even keep a close eye on me while I'm at the horse race? What does Lu Lingsong want to do?"
Pei Xunzhi was furious. "What else can he do? Lu Qingheng was divorced by Qin Beihuang, and he still holds a grudge against her. He deliberately married Qin Suyi and tortured her just to get revenge on Qin Beihuang!"
"I felt something was wrong before. This guy really has bad intentions!"
Although she didn't like Qin Suyi, she felt both distressed and angry when she saw the injuries on Qin Suyi's body.
After saying this, Pei Xunzhi became worried again.
"But how can this help?"
"Their marriage was granted by the Emperor."
"If we take Qin Suyi to see the emperor, we must ensure that this can be accomplished. Otherwise, Lu Lingsong will definitely retaliate twice as much, and Qin Suyi will be in danger."
Jiang Ningwan pondered, "Qin Suyi must have a lot of injuries on her body. If we can make a big deal out of this, maybe it will work."
"What's the commotion?"
Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Find an excuse to hold a banquet at home, invite some important people, and expose this matter."
"The more people we invite, the better. Please also invite Qin Beihuang."
Everyone must despise Lu Lingsong's actions, so that he can plead for Qin Suyi and let the emperor decide on the divorce.
Pei Xunzhi nodded and said, "My grandmother's birthday is coming soon, so I'll take this opportunity to hold a birthday party."
Jiang Ningwan: "Hurry up!"
After that, Qin Suyi left and passed by them without looking back.
Because Qin Suyi arrived late, the horse racing meeting ended quickly.
He didn't say a single word to Jiang Ningwan the entire time.
After Qin Suyi left, she was dragged into the carriage by Lu Lingsong.
Qin Suyi suddenly fell into the carriage, her face full of fear. "I listened to you and didn't talk to them much."
Lu Lingsong glanced at her coldly and said, "You're quite sensible."
The carriage set off towards the Lu family.
Qin Suyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Lu Lingsong spoke again: "Recently, there's a nanny observing outside the Lu family and even asking the servants in the mansion about you. Who is that?"
Qin Suyi's heart suddenly rose to her throat again.
She said bewilderedly, "Mammy? I...I don't know."
Lu Lingsong didn't say anything else.
He knew that the nanny was from Prince Yi's Mansion.
They have been keeping an eye on the Lu family and asking about Qin Suyi. It seems that Prince Yi's Mansion has discovered something.
……
Three days later.
The Wu Bohou Mansion is hosting the old lady’s birthday party and has started sending out invitations.
Many dignitaries from Kyoto, including the Third Prince, the Prince of Chu’s Mansion, and the Duke’s Mansion, were invited.
At the same time, an invitation was also sent to the Lu family.
Logically, Qin Suyi should attend the banquet.
But on the day of the birthday party, Qin Suyi did not come, only Lu Lingsong came.
Pei Xunzhi was at the door welcoming guests. Seeing Lu Lingsong alone, she couldn't help but ask, "Why is General Lu here alone? Isn't the princess coming?"
Lu Lingsong said calmly, "The princess has recently caught a cold and can't go out."
"I saw her at the last horse racing meeting. Wasn't she fine then?" Pei Xunzhi wondered.
A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Lingsong's eyes. "Miss Pei is very concerned about the princess? It seems that you two don't have much friendship, right?"
Fearing to arouse suspicion, Pei Xunzhi did not ask any further questions. "I'm just curious. The princess is very popular right now. If she can come, wouldn't it also bring honor to our Pei family?"
Lu Lingsong: "Then I'm afraid Miss Pei will be disappointed."
After saying that, he walked straight into the yard.
Jiang Ningwan saw it from afar and went up to ask Pei Xunzhi, only to find out that Qin Suyi had caught a cold.
How can this be.
Of course she didn't believe it.
"You guys find a way to hold Lu Lingsong back and don't let him leave. I'm going to the Lu family to find Qin Suyi!"
