The guard thought for a while, confirmed with the people around him, and replied: "There are no carriages from Zhenbei Palace leaving the city today."
Gongsun Yi frowned, "No? Could it be that I remembered it wrong or missed it?"
When the stewards of the palace go out to do business, they naturally go by the palace's carriage. There is no reason to go to the trouble of finding another carriage. The carriage of the palace has the emblem of the palace on the body, which can be recognized at a glance. If you leave the city, the defenders will definitely be impressed.
The guard shook his head and said: "I can guarantee that no carriage from Zhenbei Palace will leave the city."
Gongsun Yi's eyes darkened, he thanked him, turned his horse's head and ran back to the house.
When the concierge of the palace saw him returning, he was surprised and said: "Didn't the second master just go out not long ago, why did he come back so soon?"
Gongsun Yihan asked with a smile on his face, "Did anything happen in the house?"
The concierge was a little surprised when he saw his displeased expression. It was the first time he saw the second master's expression and he said blankly: "Nothing happened in the house."
Gongsun Yi threw the reins in his hand to him, quickly entered the mansion, passed through the second door and went straight to Huiyue House in the middle courtyard.
In the past, the lights would not be turned off when the moon was shining, but today it was dim, and there were not even a few lanterns lit in the yard.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Zhao yawned profusely and were still guarding the door.
Gongsun Yi thought for a while, but still didn't disturb anyone. He returned to Hanshan Pavilion first and walked through the corner door again.
Today, Sun's mother did not stop him, and Gongsun Yi arrived at Lin's door unimpeded.
The lights in the room were on, but not bright enough. The girl in the yard was startled when she saw her and quickly saluted.
Gongsun Yi asked with a cold face: "Is my concubine asleep?"
Seeing that his expression was not good, the girl shrank her neck and said, "This slave has been guarding outside all day and has never gone in. I don't know if the princess is asleep."
Gongsun Yi frowned and was about to open the door and go in. Han Su turned from the kitchen with a food box and saw him and greeted him quickly, "Second Master? Didn't you go to Zhuangzi?"
Gongsun thought it was Han Su who was serving Lin, so he asked, "Is my mother and concubine asleep?"
Han Su shook her head, "No, I'm just about to prepare a meal for the princess."
After hearing this, Gongsun Yi opened the door and entered the house directly.
Indoors, Mrs. Lin was sitting in front of the case, holding a piece of paper in her hand, turning it over and over to read. Seeing Gongsun Yi suddenly come in, she stood up in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Gongsun Yi looked at her face and asked, "Is your concubine okay?"
Mrs. Lin looked at him, with not much kindness in her eyes, and said, "You shouldn't come at this time."
Gongsun Yi looked hesitant. After all, he was the second master of the house. Although he was under Qin Zeng's nose, he couldn't even find out what happened last night. He said, "I thought the old lady's name was Grounded, in fact..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside and the old lady's voice, "Who is that? Go and see!"
Lin and Gongsun Yi, mother and son, looked at each other and hurriedly got up and went out, when they saw Guard Xue rushing out behind Huiyue Residence.
The old lady stood in the middle of the yard with an angry look on her face, accompanied by the second wife, the third wife, and Li Qingyi.
Mrs. Lin stepped out of the threshold, walked to the old lady, knelt down and saluted, "Old lady, what happened?"
The old lady glanced at her and did not answer. Instead, she cast her gaze on Gongsun Yi and said in a sharp tone: "It seems that you mother and son don't take me seriously at all."
"Old madam, please listen to my explanation..."
The old lady interrupted her directly, "Then please explain who the figure that flashed past your house just now is!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin understood what happened. She looked at Li Qingyi, the second wife, the third wife and others. Apparently they all saw some so-called "figure".
She was really confused now, "Who did the old lady see? I have been in the house and don't know."
At this time, Xue Ping returned to the crowd and said, "Old madam, I didn't catch up with you, the figure disappeared in a flash!"
The old lady said angrily, "Xue Ping, there is a thief in the house. Let the door be closed. You take the people and search everywhere carefully."
Xue Ping quickly agreed.
The servants of Huiyue Residence saw the old lady's expression so horrifying that they were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out. Hansu hid in the crowd and stood silently. Nan Zhu and Zi Jiang looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.
"Old lady, in the end..."
Before Lin could finish her words, the old lady raised her palm and slapped her hard on the face!
With a "pop" sound, not only Mrs. Lin covered her face in shock, but everyone present froze in breath.
Everyone has never seen the old lady lose such a temper. Although she is very vigorous in managing the family, this is the first time she has done it in person, and she is still beating her eldest daughter-in-law!
Gongsun Yi exclaimed, "Grandma!"
The old lady glanced over with cold eyes, "What, you want to be slapped too?"
Gongsun Yi's expression froze. His grandmother had always valued him, but now she was looking at him like this. Could it be that her grandmother suspected her mother of adultery and had an affair, and also doubted his bloodline?
Before he could say anything else, the old lady looked at Mrs. Lin and said sternly: "Come in with me!"
The two entered the house, and the others did not dare to follow them in. They all waited outside the door in silence.
Han Su panicked: "Where is Mother Sun? Why is there no one at this time?"
A little girl said: "I haven't seen Mama Sun for a long time. Just now, I thought she had been staying with the princess in the house."
Han Su shook her head, "Just now the princess said she wanted to stay by herself for a while, so I went to the small kitchen to prepare meals for the princess. I didn't see Mother Sun."
Nan Zhu said: "Just now Sun's mother said she felt uncomfortable in her chest and wanted to go back to her room to rest for a while. She is probably fast asleep in her room. I'll go take a look."
In the room, the old lady's anger was still burning. Her eyes were looking around the room, and suddenly she saw an indigo blue bundle in the corner of the cabinet. She walked over and shook the bundle off, and gold and silver jewelry came out of it. , and some silver notes and broken silver.
The old woman's face suddenly darkened, and she pushed the thing in front of Mrs. Lin, "Who is this a bargain for? Is it an adulterer? You tried every means to send Brother Yi away because you wanted to say goodbye to the adulterer?" !”
Mrs. Lin released her swollen cheek and explained: "Old madam, where do you start from? This burden is not what you think..."
Before he finished speaking, Nan Zhu's slightly panicked and incomprehensible voice came from outside, "Princess, Mother Sun is dead! Mother Sun is dead!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion in the yard, and everyone must have been surprised by the news.
Lin's expression changed drastically when he heard this!
Although Mama Sun only came to serve her after she entered the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she was always loyal to her. Mama Sun worried about many things for her.
But why did Sun’s mother die? !
"Please vote, my dears."
