Chapter 253 Homecoming(1/2)
Leng Yi said: "The previous request is easy to make. I will report it to the officials. As for letting you leave the capital, I can't do that. You should also know that the officials will not allow you to leave."
Li Yu nodded dejectedly: "I understand. I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about if there is such a possibility in the future. Of course, if there is no such possibility, you don't need to say anything."
"It depends on the situation. If it is really possible for the officials to let you go in the future, I will speak for you."
Li Yu was overjoyed and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, sir! You are truly my reborn parents!"
"My father-in-law made a strong statement. I only said that there is such a possibility."
"Of course! Of course!" Li Yu rubbed his hands in excitement. His biggest wish now was to live his life safely like an ordinary person, and he was satisfied. This is a simple wish for ordinary people, and for ordinary people, it is a simple wish.
For him, it was an extravagant hope. Leng Yi was now a popular figure among the officials, and with his promise to help, this extravagant hope finally had a little hope. How could he not be excited? After thinking about it, he added: "What if
..., I mean if..."
Leng Yi looked at him.
Li Yu was a little embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart: "If the officials are not willing to let us and my wife leave together, then... then it is not a bad idea for my wife to stay...
"
Leng Yi's face turned gloomy and he looked at him but still said nothing.
Li Yu looked depressed and choked up: "I know that my thoughts are really worse than a beast. But, I have no choice. I know that the official family will not allow my wife to leave, if I insist on leaving together.
.Maybe I can’t even leave myself. So, I can only take this last resort..."
Leng Yi still didn't speak.
Li Yu was a little nervous, fearing that he had said the wrong thing and offended the Bodhisattva, so he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "With you in the capital, she will not suffer any loss. And, as I said just now, if possible in the future, you can help her."
If she wants to go over there, she will have a good home..."
Leng Yi stood up with a sinister smile on his lips: "In this case, I will take her to my home now. She has read poetry and has red sleeves that add fragrance. What do you think, sir? Hehe."
Li Yu was taken aback and opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
Leng Yi sneered: "What? Can't bear to leave?"
"No! No!" Li Yu smiled awkwardly and waved his hands randomly. "It's just right! It's just right!"
"I'm kidding you!" Leng Yi's smile faded, "I can't do anything like beating a mandarin duck. I just want to see what you really think. Now I know..."
Li Yu was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say as he laughed. However, he secretly thought that Leng Yi's words reminded him that if he let his wife live in Leng Yi's house, wouldn't he be able to get closer to Leng Yi's family?
? hurriedly said: "I think this proposal is very good. My wife and your lady are like sisters. She has already said that she wants to live with your lady for some time. But she is still ill now.
.I’m afraid I’ll cause you trouble. Hehe.”
After saying that, he looked at Leng Yi eagerly. He hoped that he had said so. Leng Yi would say it doesn't matter, and then let his wife live in their house as a matter of course. Unexpectedly, Leng Yi smiled and said: "Yes, Madam
It is not advisable to go out when you are sick."
Li Yu was very disappointed and hesitated to think of an idea to tell Leng Yi. But Leng Yi had already turned around and left the study with his hands behind his back.
Li Yu had no choice but to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and followed Leng Yi back to the bedroom anxiously.
The two of them pushed open the door, and couldn't help but screamed in surprise. They saw that the room was empty, and Xiao Zhou was missing!
Li Yu panicked and rushed in. After looking around, there was still no sign of Xiao Hou. The back window was open.
The two of them rushed behind the window and saw a clear line of footprints winding away from under the window.
Li Yu shouted loudly: "Madam! Madam, where are you?" While shouting, he climbed out of the window and followed the footprints. However, the footprints left the inner house from the corner door and disappeared when they reached the outside path, because
The snow on the trail has been cleared, so there are naturally no footprints on it.
Li Yu stopped, turned back, and said to Leng Yi: "What should I do? Sir?"
Leng Yi pointed his hand and said: "You look over there, I'll look over here!"
"good!"
Li Yu shouted as he ran forward. His father-in-law's mansion was very big, just like a small park today.
Li Yu's call quickly summoned all the servants hiding in the house. After asking about the situation, everyone began to look around.
However, after searching for a long time, they couldn't find it! However, a servant discovered that a corner door in the back garden leading to the outside was open. Leng Yi and the others rushed to the corner door, and sure enough, it was true. Moreover, since this corner door was generally not used, so
The servants haven't cleared the snow here yet. They found footprints on the snow, which were relatively small. They looked like those of Xiao Zhou. Did she run out? If she ran out, it would be as big as the whole capital. But where did she go?
try to find?
Li Yu was so worried: "What can we do? What can we do?"
Leng Yi felt something was wrong and asked: "My lady is not a child, why are you so anxious?"
Li Yu said with a sad face: "Sir, you don't know, she..., her serious illness is very serious, she is suffering from madness!"
Leng Yi was surprised: "Insanity certificate? Who said that?"
"Flower Doctor." Li Yu said: "Last time, when she got sick, she even pulled out a lot of Flower Doctor's beard and my hair!"
Leng Yi said anxiously: "Then send someone to look for him quickly!"
At this time, the shopkeeper of a shop opposite the corner gate came over and said, "Are you looking for Mrs. Zheng Guo?"
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Have you seen it?"
"I saw it, she just jumped over there! She even grabbed other people's beards and hair along the way. Passers-by were avoiding her. What's wrong with her? She looks a little crazy!"
Li Yu smiled awkwardly and thanked the shopkeeper. Just as he was about to catch up in the direction the shopkeeper said, the concierge hurriedly ran over and said, "Master Leng, your servant came to report that our wife
I’m in your mansion now.”
Li Yu was surprised and happy, and said: "Madam has gone to Lord Leng's house?"
"Yes."
Leng Yi said: "Why did she run away alone? Quietly."
The two hurriedly returned to the front hall, got into the sedan chair, and led Leng Yi's guards to Leng Yi's home.
When the porter saw Leng Yi and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Master, are you back?"
Leng Yi said: "Is Mrs. Zheng Guo here?"
"Yes, she came up the steps with disheveled hair and bare feet just now. I didn't recognize her at first, so I went up to ask her, but she reached over and tried to pull my beard, which scared me. Fortunately, I could hide.
Quick. Then she giggled and ran inside. I quickly chased after her. Master Fei Yi’s disciples had already stopped her. But I recognized her as Mrs. Zheng Guo. I looked carefully and it turned out to be true. So I asked
What happened to her? She didn't say anything, she just smiled and walked in. We didn't dare to stop her. So we followed her and sent someone to report to the madam. The madam came and helped Mrs. Zheng Guo into the inner house. "
Cao Sui was standing on the porch outside the door, talking to Cheng Luo'an and other female guards. When he saw Leng Yi and the others approaching, he hurriedly came up to greet him. Leng Yi asked, "Where is Mrs. Zheng Guo?"
Cao Sui pursed her lips towards the house. Leng Yi and Li Yu walked towards the main room. Before they entered the house, they heard someone giggling non-stop. Listen to the sound. It was Xiao Zhou Hou. The laughter was a bit permeable and could be heard.
Leng Yi and Li Yu looked at each other,
Cheng Luo'an whispered to Leng Yi: "Does Mrs. Zheng Guo have epilepsy?"
"What's wrong?"
"When she came in just now, her hair was disheveled and she was crying. When she saw us, she suddenly smiled again. Then she came over and tried to grab our hair. We quickly ran away."
Leng Yi said: "She is very ill this time." As he said this, he walked into the house. Li Yu hurriedly followed him in.
When they entered the room, they saw Xiao Zhou holding Zhuo Qiao Niang's hand and chattering non-stop. They were all talking nonsense and they couldn't understand what they were saying. Zhuo Qiao Niang looked at her with a worried look on her face.
She didn't know what to do.
Seeing Leng Yi and Li Yu coming in, Zhuo Qiaoniang was relieved and said hurriedly: "Officer! Mrs. Zheng Guo..."
Leng Yi shook his head and signaled her not to speak.
Li Yu hurried over and said to Xiao Hou: "Madam! Why did you run out alone without saying anything? How dangerous!"
Xiao Zhouhou turned to look at him, but she screamed, threw away his hand, and hid behind Zhuo Qiaoniang, her petite body still trembling.
Li Yu was shocked and said: "Madam! It's me! What's wrong with you?" Then he walked forward to pull Xiao Zhouhou.
However, Xiao Zhouhou was horrified and used Zhuo Qiao Niang as a shield, circling around to avoid Li Yu and crying at the same time. Li Yu had to stop and look helplessly at Leng Yi.
Zhuo Qiao Niang also said softly to Little Empress Zhou: "Sister, this is an official from your family! Take a good look!"
Empress Xiao Zhou just hid behind Zhuo Qiao Niang, lowering her head and shaking.
Li Yuzheng intended to let his wife stay at Leng Yi's house in order to close the relationship between the two families. Now that his wife was acting like this, it was obvious that she was ill again. She was also unwilling to go back with him, which was exactly what he wanted. He bowed to Leng Yi and said:
"Zhuo Jing cannot recognize me when she is ill and refuses to go back with me. Can you let her stay in your mansion temporarily for a while? I told Doctor Hua to let him go directly to your mansion to treat Zhuo Jing. I don't know, sir.
how about?"
Leng Yi smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way."
Li Yu said goodbye with great gratitude and left.
Xiao Zhouhou came out from behind Zhuo Qiaoniang. When she saw Leng Yi, she suddenly giggled again and reached out to grab Leng Yi's hair. Zhuo Qiaoniang quickly hugged Xiao Zhouhou and half-forced her.
She was pulled to the bedside and sat down. Zhuo Qiaoniang was born in a farm family and was stronger than Xiaozhouhou. Xiaozhouhou was forced by her, so naturally she couldn't resist. She pulled her to sit on the bedside.
Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at Leng Yi worriedly: "Officer, what should I do?"
Leng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to ask Hua Wuxiang to come and see if she can do anything."
