Chapter 889 Being in prison and seeing people's hearts (1)
Since the afternoon, there have been lights and decorations in Li's mansion, laughter and joy, and it is very lively.
Because today, not only is the master coming back, but he also brought his sisters Li Le'er and Tangtang whom he thought something had happened many years ago. As the mistress of the family, Yang Qingxiao naturally had to express her feelings. As for Li Yue'er, she was so happy that she didn't know what to react, but she just laughed and danced, and kept going to the front yard to inquire about the news.
When Li Moyun brought people to escort the carriage into the entrance, Li Yue'er rushed over in three steps, hurriedly trying to lift the curtain of the car, and shouted happily: "Sister...Sister..."
As the curtains rose, she saw her sister who was already red-eyed and a little confused girl Tangtang. Then, the two sisters who had been away for many years hugged each other tightly, and Yue'er even cried and said, "Sister... wuwu, you are finally back, wuwu... I always thought you were killed..."
Yang Qingxiao's eyes were red when she looked around, but after all, her identity and experience were unusual. After a while, she adjusted her emotions and smiled and saluted Li Le'er, while saying, "Sister, we are so happy that you and Tangtang can come home. Yue'er, everyone is watching. If you have anything to say, go inside first." As she spoke, she took another step forward and helped Li Le'er and Tangtang get out of the car.
This performance was really generous and decent, which made Li Le'er focus on her again. After letting go of her sister, she also paid a gift and got off the car. The girls immediately said greetings and sat in the backyard hall. The servants below brought all kinds of refreshments, wine and food in like running water.
Even if the Li family does not mention Li Ling, it is a wealthy family in Luoyang City. Today, they have made a deliberate arrangement. The refreshments and dishes are the best things, but they are dazzling to the inexperienced Li Le'er and his daughter. It was not until this time that they truly realized how great their younger brother (uncle) is now, which makes them a little nervous.
Fortunately, there was Yue'er and Yang Qingxiao who kept joking to relieve their emotions, which made them gradually relax. The girls cried or laughed and said everything they had experienced before, and while increasing their understanding, their relationship also improved.
Li Le'er's temperament is actually similar to her sister, but she is more virtuous and weak, but she is the same innocence. Yang Qingxiao is better at making friends with others, and they are already relatives, so this family dinner naturally became very happy. Even Tangtang, who was originally a little distant and did not dare to speak, began to laugh with the continuous guidance of the cheerful Li Yue'er.
If Li Ling was right beside him at this time, he would definitely feel very relieved. He brought his sister and the others back just to reunite the whole family and live a good life. Now it seems that everyone's relationship seems to be quite good.
As they said this, they all experienced each other until they had enough food and drink, it was even dark, but Li Ling did not come back. This made the girls a little worried, especially Li Le'er, who looked outside for a while and said, "Why haven't he come back yet? Didn't he say that he could go home as long as he went to hand in the money?"
Although Yang Qingxiao was a little worried, she comforted her mouth: "Maybe some colleagues have been delayed. Sister, you don't know that it's better to be an official in the court, but there are too many social engagements..." Although she said that, she didn't think so in her heart. Li Ling was just back today, so how could she do any social engagements? Could it be that she was delayed in the palace?
As he was talking, Li Xu came to the hall with a nervous expression. He opened his mouth and was about to report something. After meeting the wife's gaze, he quickly smiled and said, "Madam, there is something in the kitchen. I want to ask you..."
"You sit down, I'll come." Yang Qingxiao felt a little wrong, but her face was still smiling, which made others see nothing wrong. Then she got up and took Li Xu to the corridor outside the hall, her face turned solemn, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Madam, the Imperial City Office just sent someone to spread the news, saying that it was the master... He was taken there to take custody and could not go home for the time being." Li Xu said with a panic on his face.
In Luoyang City today, the Imperial City Department is a yamen that makes people feel scared. Especially for officials, as long as they are involved in the Imperial City Department, the outcome is not good. Because in recent years of development, the Imperial City Department has been monitoring the officials in the capital city more and more and more power, and even people have come to the door to get people.
Yang Qingxiao naturally heard about this and immediately made a surprise attack. But then, she remembered another point that her husband was actually a member of the Imperial City Department, so it was not too dangerous to be taken there today. Just a little bit made her very uneasy. Li Ling had just returned to the capital, so why was he immediately taken away by the Imperial City Department's people?
"Do they have anything else?" she thought for a while before asking again.
"It's gone, and the person leaves after he passes the message."
Yang Qingxiao frowned slightly. It seemed that this was the arrangement made by Li Lang. Judging from the current situation in the capital, it may be related to Li Tong's case.
Li Lingren has been away, but his letters and exchanges with his wife have never stopped, especially the letters before returning home. He even wrote all kinds of problems clearly, including the various changes in the relationship between Li Tong and himself, as well as possible crises.
In addition, Yang Qingxiao can still control some affairs in the court, so naturally he knows that many people have impeached their husbands recently. So after Li Ling was taken to the Imperial City Division after returning to Beijing, although she caught her off guard by killing her, it didn't make people completely panic, and it was even acceptable.
Seeing Yang Qingxiao pondering for a long time, Li Xu felt more and more uneasy. He could only look at him secretly and think about what he could do. The master is the backbone of the family. If something really goes wrong, it will be a disaster.
After a while, Yang Qingxiao said softly: "Does anyone else in the family know about this?"
"The two of them were listening."
"Let me explain it to them clearly. Don't pass this to the fifth person to know. The family must be safe and stable, especially the back house." At this time, she fully showed the momentum that the mistress and the eldest wife should have. The family should not be in chaos, especially the Li Le'er and his daughter who have just returned, and they should not be affected.
Li Xu hurriedly agreed, and he thought of this before coming in to report it, and he also reminded the two servants.
"Also, you can send someone to the King of Ying and bring him the news that the master was imprisoned in the Imperial City Division..." Yang Qingxiao suddenly stopped saying this, "No, you can go there yourself and talk about your father-in-law's affairs."
Li Xu's expression became tight again. As the butler of the Li family, Li Ling and his wife did not hide many things from him. He also understood how sensitive Li Tong was. Did he actually mention it to outsiders at this time?
But since this is what the wife meant, he dared not refuse to obey. He immediately agreed solemnly and asked, "Is there anything else? But do you have to go to Mr. Wei and Mr. Xu's mansion to upload a message?" Wei Liang and Xu Cang were Li Ling's closest people in the capital. They were truly a good family. During this period, Li Ling was not in the capital, and they often visited him.
After thinking for a while, Yang Qingxiao nodded: "Go to see King Ying first, and then these two families." After that, she took out another waist sign and handed it over, "It's already a curfew, you can hold this sign."
"That little one is gone." Li Xu took the waist card that he walked around at night, but did not dare to delay. After the ceremony, he hurried away.
Watching her go along the corridor, Yang Qingxiao let out a long breath, then smiled again on her face and turned back to the hall. Li Lang was not here, so she naturally resisted everything in the house. Whether it is Yue'er or sister, it is better not to worry them.
In this way, there was another laughter and joy, and the kitchen sent some food and drink. It was not until shortly after entering the evening, when Li Le'er and his daughter were exhausted, Yang Qingxiao ended the family dinner and then took them to the cross-yard arranged for them.
When she left the yard, she saw Yue'er still waiting there, and said with some concern: "Sister-in-law, why haven't brother come back yet? He just came back, why didn't he go home?"
"He has something to deal with. He has sent someone to bring back the message just now. It's all the major affairs of the official family." Yang Qingxiao hurriedly found a reason to make excuses. Yue'er was naive, and it would be easy to pass on these words.
Yue'er glanced at her sister-in-law, nodded silently, and then she returned to her residence.
After Yang Qingxiao let out a sigh, she did not go back to rest, but went forward again. Because just now, Li Xu rushed back and reported to her that Lord Wei and Lord Xu had arrived and were waiting in the front hall.
Wei Liang and Xu Cang sat in the hall with a serious expression, and the tea in front of them was not moved. It was not until Yang Qingxiao entered the door that she stood up at the same time and looked at her: "Wen Zhong, he was really taken by the Imperial City Department?"
Yang Qingxiao gave them a tribute first, then said, "Well, it should be related to the Luotian Sect in Huguang, that's the person..."
Both of them were officials in the court, so they naturally heard about this matter and became even more nervous: "This matter is really difficult. What do you think should you do?"
"If there is someone who can use me, brother and sister, just talk!" Xu Cang said more directly.
"I, a woman, can't come up with a solution to this matter. Now I can only see if you are the King of England can save my husband." Yang Qingxiao lowered her head, looking worried, but there was a strange light flashing in her eyes.
