People in the palace? Lu Songli's memory was very good, and she recognized this person at a glance as Yinyue, the eldest maid in the Empress Dowager's Palace, followed by two tender-faced maids and two little eunuchs.
Yinyue slowly walked downstairs and came to Lu Songli, staring at her.
It was obvious that the visitor was not benevolent. The Qin family slowly came to Lu Songli's side.
Mrs. Qin said, "Auntie, may I ask -"
Yinyue raised her hand to stop her. She stared at Lu Songli and spoke word by word, "Lu Songli, the Queen Mother asked this aunt to ask you, did you ever think that such a day would happen?"
Lu Songli rolled her eyes in her heart, why should I tell you? There was a sad look on his face and he shook his head.
To be honest, she didn't know why she offended the Queen Mother so much? Let her hold a grudge to this day? Revenge once is not enough. Speaking of which, they had only met once in Weiyang Palace. The person I was fighting against at that time was clearly Zhao Yutan, and I had no disrespect towards her.
Of course, if it is disrespectful to say that it is not as good as the Queen Mother's intention, then she is indeed disrespectful.
Qin Sheng walked up and quietly held her hand.
Yinyue glanced at Qin Sheng and asked the second question, "Do you regret it?"
Lu Songli still shook her head. She knew very well that the other party was just here to see her laugh. Unless she could perform a crying scene on the spot, the other party would not be satisfied whether she answered regretfully or not.
"What do you mean when you shake your head?" Yinyue asked.
"I mean, so what if you regret it, what if you don't regret it?"
"The Empress Dowager is right, you are indeed rebellious."
Lu Songli:? ? ? Is she rebellious? How come she doesn't know? Did they uncover their own skulls and look at them?
At this time, Xu Zheng came forward and said, "Auntie, we are leaving the city!"
Yinyue glanced at him, and then said, "Lu Songli, I am here to pass on the Queen Mother's oral instructions. I hope you can reflect on yourself during this exile and realize what it means to be gentle, courteous, self-denial and independent. "After saying that, she glanced at the officer's office, then left with a smile on her face.
Lu Songli almost laughed out loud. She had always wanted to put down the butcher's knife and be a good person, but these people kept forcing her to pick up the butcher's knife, so she wouldn't be polite.
Qin Sheng kept holding Lu Songli's hand and pursed his lips tightly. He knew the inside story best. In fact, his wife was the most innocent person. Why is she still being bullied like this? Is it just because the other party is the Queen Mother? Thinking about his father again, he obviously didn't need to die...
Qin Heng also frowned, the Queen Mother's words were too harsh.
Qin Zhao secretly shook his head in his heart. The Empress Dowager was in bad luck. With the vengeful nature of the six siblings, father and daughter, the humiliation and anger they suffered today must be paid back to her.
Under the command of Xu Zheng, the group of them began to leave the city.
When Lu Songli passed by Lu Desheng, she lowered her voice and said, "Dad, I'm leaving. You and your mother should take care of yourself. Also, I will settle the account myself. Don't bother the Empress Dowager."
After hearing the first sentence of Lu Desheng's explosive temper, he couldn't bear it any longer. He wouldn't be such a bully! It was his daughter who stopped him with her eyes. He knew that her daughter was telling him not to act rashly. Okay, he won't move. But why did the daughter stop him before leaving?
The anger in Lu Desheng's chest had nowhere to go, and his eyes finally fell on Qin Sheng, "Little bastard, you have to take good care of her along the way, do you hear me?"
Qin Sheng responded honestly, "I understand, father-in-law."
Finally, Lu Desheng nodded towards Xu Zheng, saying nothing.
After leaving the city, Lu Songli took one last look back at Chang'an City.
Qin Sheng also stopped and waited for her.
Xu Zheng also stopped and did not urge the two of them.
Looking at the mighty city wall, Lu Songli thought to herself that the Empress Dowager must have been aloof for too long and could not see her free and unruly soul.
In fact, what is there to be proud of? It’s not that she, Lu Songli, despised the Song Dynasty. In fact, under its rule, ordinary people’s lives were so poor that they could not even provide basic food and clothing, and had no ability to withstand risks. Any natural or man-made disaster would make the whole family return to poverty. Then they sell their sons, daughters, and fields. The lives of ordinary people are extremely miserable, and there is no happiness index at all. Even if she were to govern this country with her eyes closed, she would still be no worse than them! It’s getting colder, it’s time for the Song Dynasty to step down!
"Ah Li, Ah Sheng, let's go!"
Lu Songli came back to her senses and responded, "Okay, here we come." Then when she passed by Qin Sheng, she took his hand and walked forward quickly.
Lu Desheng returned home tiredly, and happened to meet his wife and her servants, who looked like they were getting ready to go out.
"Madam, where are you going?"
"I heard that my daughter and the Qin family have been released and are going to the place of exile. I packed some food and prepared to chase them directly to the city gate to see if I can catch up with them. Oh, I won't tell you more. Now, I have to hurry."
"Don't go, my daughter and the Qin family have already left the city." Lu Desheng said in a low voice.
"how do you know?"
"I just came back from sending my daughter out of the city."
Ms. Jiang sighed regretfully. This departure was too sudden, leaving no time for anyone to react.
Ms. Jiang felt that her husband's mood was wrong. He was feeling depressed and angry? "What happened?"
Lu Desheng whispered what happened at the city gate.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang almost didn't even mention it. How could there be such a shameless person? Their Ah Li is the most innocent one. She was divorced, given a marriage, forced to marry into the Qin family, forced to go into exile... and was humiliated by her in the end?
Jiang finally said angrily, "I really don't know how Ah Li provoked her?!"
"Ah Li is probably implicated by me..." Lu Desheng whispered.
That's why he feels so guilty. His daughter has really helped him and the family a lot in the past few months. Otherwise, the family might have been ruined by those conspiracies.
no! Lu Desheng stood up proudly.
Seeing him walking out, Mrs. Jiang quickly called him, "What do you want to do?"
"Madam, I have to go to the study."
"Don't go!"
Lu Desheng stood there stubbornly without turning around.
"Did my daughter say anything to you when you came back?" Seeing that he still didn't move, Jiang made a guess, "Did my daughter ask you to endure it?"
Lu Desheng nodded painfully.
"You listen to my daughter. That's right. Don't make your own decisions. If she is exiled, she will still have to worry about her family and you." Her husband is a sharp sword. The daughter is not the one holding the sword, so she cannot be allowed to poke and prod at her. I poked there, but what if I poked in the wrong place and something happened?
Ever since she heard the news that the Xie and Zhao families had been confiscated and exiled, Mrs. Jiang was extremely convinced of her daughter.
"Don't worry. When have you ever seen your daughter suffer a loss? She will definitely get back the anger she suffered today."
Yes, that’s what my daughter said just now. And after Lu Desheng thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. His daughter was just as upset as he was. Then if he is obedient, he will definitely let his daughter charge more interest when the time comes!
