Back at the house, Mrs. Zhao came out to pick her up in person.
As soon as he saw her, he hugged her tightly and started crying. No less than crying with joy while holding a lost treasure.
Looking at Mrs. Zhao, who had not combed her hair and had been waiting for almost the whole night, Xining was a little touched and comforted, "Mom, please stop crying, be careful of crying and damaging your body. Didn't I come back well?"
Mrs. Zhao quickly let go of her hand and looked up and down to make sure her daughter was fine. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Lihua, where were you kidnapped? My mother is almost dying of panic!"
Xining responded with a smile, "Aren't there guards following me? It's just to take advantage of the situation. It's their fault for not making it clear to my mother."
Zhao Geng, who was still there, looked at the third young lady and saw that he was following her. Fortunately, there was another one following her. If he lost her, this matter would be in trouble. It’s possible that you won’t have a peaceful life for a few days!
General Zhao walked out with his hands behind his back and said with a long face, "You're back?"
"Yes, father!" Xining saluted in front of everyone.
"Well~" General Zhao nodded, "Go to bed first, Sanlang, Zhao Geng, you two come over here."
"Yes~" Xining responded obediently.
Zhao Geng had to take another look. Is this the third lady who was stabbing someone with a sword in the yard just now?
Mrs. Zhao took Xi Ning's hand. She felt that her little hand was very cold and the pain was so bad that she didn't know what to do. She put her hand in front of her, took a few breaths of hot air, and rubbed it gently.
The confidant who was waiting beside her hurriedly brought the hand stove. Grandma Li was getting older and she originally wanted to hold on until the third lady came back. But just after midnight, his face became whiter and whiter. When the news came that the third lady was safe, Mrs. Zhao asked Grandma Li to rest first.
In turn, Xining was helped into the house by Mrs. Zhao and Zhiyin. The heated kang in the room was already hot, and the thick brocade-covered quilt had been laid out.
The maids inside and outside the house all screamed, waiting to change and wash themselves.
Xining asked Mrs. Zhao to go back to sleep, but Mrs. Zhao refused to say anything. After she lay down, a bowl of ginger soup was brought over.
Mrs. Zhao coaxed, "Son, you haven't liked the taste of ginger since you were a child, but you should drink this bowl while it's hot. Otherwise, if you catch a cold or get sick, it will be bad."
"Thank you, mother!" Xining took it and drank it all in one breath.
She frowned, and the ginger stung the taste buds on her tongue. The owner of this body doesn't like to drink ginger soup because his tongue is too sensitive and he really doesn't like the taste of ginger.
Mrs. Zhao smiled, asked her to lie down, and covered her with the quilt.
Xining felt different, "Isn't this made of cotton?"
"It's made of camel hair. It was brought to the palace by merchants from the Western Regions. It's breathable and warm. There are only six beds in total." Mrs. Zhao was beside her as if she was coaxing a child, patting her quilt gently. "Close your eyes and feel at ease." Go to sleep, my parents are here and they will never let anything happen to our Lihua."
Xi Ning could feel the strong motherly love. Looking at Mrs. Zhao, her eyes were blue, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were so obvious under the dim candlelight. After all, she was almost fifty.
I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart, "Why don't Mom sleep here? Dad might not be able to come back to the house tonight anyway."
Mrs. Zhao laughed suddenly and lightly tapped her nose with her finger, "Do you want Mom to accompany you?"
Xining simply said, "Yes, I think so!"
"The eldest girl wants to sleep alone. If she can't stay with her all the time, then just one night." Mrs. Zhao asked someone to get another quilt. After washing, she lay down next to her with her head side by side.
Her daughter was found unharmed, and she felt at ease. Mrs. Zhao quickly fell asleep.
In the study room, General Zhao ordered Zhao Geng as soon as he entered, "Miss was in danger this time. Fortunately, she was found. We will send more people to protect her in the future."
"Yes!" Zhao Geng knelt down on one leg. "It was my subordinate's incompetence in doing things that made the general worried. The lady was frightened."
"The people in the Rongguo Duke's Mansion are naturally not ordinary people. You can not take action rashly and come back to bring in reinforcements. It shows that you are able to see the situation clearly and are reliable. This general is not wrong about you." General Zhao has always been Those who can distinguish between good and bad and know how to employ people.
"Thank you for the compliment, general. I'm ashamed of myself." Zhao Geng saw the third lady being carried away while being stunned. When he saw that the other party was steady and walking like flying while carrying someone, he knew he was a master. It's not that he goes up to fight and snatch the person back, but he follows them secretly and leaves marks along the way.
Watching the three people carrying the third lady into a remote abandoned house, they waited at the door until other guards in the house saw his mark and searched for it, and then they rushed in together to save people.
General Zhao felt a little regretful and unhappy, "Are all the people who kidnapped the lady dead?"
Zhao Yingyue, who was standing next to him, interjected, "Did you reveal who did it before you died?"
"Not dead!" Zhao Geng responded.
General Zhao was stunned, "Then why didn't you bring it back?" After being tortured, he would definitely ask the person behind it and go to the official's house to get a copy.
Zhao Geng felt that he needed to bite the bullet and say, "The lady asked me to let him go."
General Zhao glared, "She said let him go, so you let him go?" He just said that Zhao Geng could see the situation clearly and was reliable, but now he seems to be taking it back. Zhao Yinghong is only fifteen years old. Even if she is a young master, she cannot do whatever she says.
Zhao Geng swallowed his saliva and replied with more difficulty, "My lady has examined her and she is a dead soldier sent by the Duke of Rongguo."
General Zhao and Zhao Yingyue were stunned at this time. Once a dead soldier discovers something is wrong, he will commit suicide without leaving any survivors.
"Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it." General Zhao's words made Zhao Geng smile bitterly. In fact, he still finds it incredible until now.
General Zhao asked, "How was the trial conducted? Tell me carefully what happened."
The study was extremely quiet. After a long time, General Zhao came back to his senses and said, "You should stand up first."
Unknowingly, Zhao Geng had been kneeling on the ground for a long time. As for why I only remembered it now, the reason is that what I heard was so unexpected.
General Zhao even imagined his weak daughter in his mind, holding a sword and stabbing someone without changing his expression... That was a human being, even if it was a chicken, duck, cow or sheep, it took courage to stab someone.
Zhao Yingyue couldn't believe it, "Is what you said true? Did she really say that?"
Zhao Geng stood up and bowed his head in salute, "Yes!"
Not only did he stab him, but he also asked the guards to cut off one person's hand and cut out another person's tongue...
Zhao Geng said with a bit of awe, "My lady has the courage of a general to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and my subordinates unknowingly obeyed her orders."
At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in to report the news. Afterwards, Zhao Chengzong led people into the yard, and all three people who kidnapped the young lady were silenced and buried in a mass grave.
An ordinary woman would be quite frightened if someone kidnapped her. But she didn't panic or panic, and she was still organized. Even the fate of these three people was calculated in advance, otherwise they would not have said something like "their own people, they can solve it themselves, don't dirty our hands."
Just like Poria cocos, you don't have to do it yourself, the Duke of Rongguo will definitely not let it go.
At this moment, Zhao Geng was fully convinced, "Miss, you are really good at predicting things!"
