Chapter 47: For Whom the Grand Commander Bows

Changchun Palace.

After listening to Eunuch Wang's report, Concubine Li's beautiful eyes flashed with anger: "What did you say? Was he rescued by the people from the Governor's Mansion?"

Eunuch Wang said, "It can't be considered a rescue. Madam Lu and her maid accidentally fainted at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The Imperial Guards were shouting and killing in the territory of the Governor's Mansion. If you don't know, you might think that the Queen is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys! Then we have to go against the Queen!"

Concubine Li pulled her handkerchief in dissatisfaction: "A bunch of idiots!"

The sky is bright.

Madam Yan finally came out of Meng Qianqian's room.

She went next door.

Even though he had not slept all night, the owner of Wanhua Tower, who had trained countless beauties, still had exquisite makeup, a charming look, and a variety of charm.

She sat down on the chair, fanning herself with a round fan, and looked at Lu Yuan opposite her with a smile: "Oh, Grand Commander, did you get up early, or did you not sleep all night?"

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Did he survive?"

Madam Yan said contemptuously: "How can I not save her if I help? But I am very curious, why would the Grand Commander care so much about a maid? I thought she was your woman at first, but when I looked, she was still a virgin! You obviously haven't even touched her!"

Lu Yuan paused while drinking tea.

"Did I get it right?" Lady Yan's eyes lit up, her gossip burning. "What's going on? Tell me more!"

Lu Yuan put down the teacup: "You talk too much."

Madam Yan said, "I helped you save someone, so why don't you ask me what happened? If you don't tell me, I won't care about you anymore! Oh my, the commander-in-chief who killed so many people actually bowed down for a woman——"

"Save her because she is valuable."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave. As soon as he opened the half-open door, he saw Meng Qianqian standing at the door.

Behind her were Qingshuang, who had a cold look, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, who had an indescribable look.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was scratching his head, but his hand froze in mid-air, not knowing whether to put it away or not.

Lu Yuan's eyes moved slightly.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "I am here to thank the Grand Commander. I owe you this favor. If you need me in the future, please let me know."

The Jinyiwei commander was embarrassed: "Then...what..."

Meng Qianqian bowed and said, "Thank you, Grand Commander, for taking me in. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, she went back to the next room and bent over to hug Tan'er who was sleeping soundly.

Qingshuang took a step ahead of her and carried Tan'er on her shoulders.

Meng Qianqian paused and said, "Thank you, Miss Qingshuang."

Qingshuang said: "Madam, just call me Qingshuang."

The heavy snow fell for a whole day and night and only stopped at night. The ground was covered with thick snow, and shoes made a crackling sound when stepped on it.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, the commander of the Jinyiwei said coldly to Lady Yan who was leisurely drinking tea in the room: "I say, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Madam Yan chuckled and said, "You kidnapped me and brought me here. If you don't seek revenge, do you think I'm made of paper?"

The commander of the Jinyiwei wanted to chop this woman to pieces with his sword. He turned to look at Lu Yuan and said, "Sir, how about... going to explain?"

"Humph!"

Lu Yuan walked away expressionlessly.

Someone from the kitchen came over and asked, "Commander, what do you want to eat this morning?"

The commander of the Jinyiwei rolled up his sleeves and said calmly, "Dead duck's mouth!"

Meng Qianqian arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The carriage had already been prepared. After she got on, Qingshuang also carried Tan'er onto the carriage.

Meng Qianqian asked Qingshuang: "Can we go to Wang's house first? I want to pick someone up."

Qingshuang opened the car window and said to Meng Qianqian, "The Wang family is here."

"Madam, why did you bring me to the Governor's Mansion so early in the morning?"

"What am I saying? Didn't I tell you to return to Beijing as soon as possible?"

"I... I was on duty in Li County. I received your message and rushed back overnight, but the city gates were closed. What could I do?"

"Stop talking, come down quickly, saving people is the most important thing!"

Madam Wang dragged Censor Wang off the carriage.

"Mrs. Wang."

Meng Qianqian's voice sounded softly behind her.

Madam Wang and Censor Wang turned around at the same time, and Madam Wang pushed her husband away.

"Miss!"

Banxia jumped off another carriage, ran to Meng Qianqian, grabbed her arm and looked her up and down: "Miss!"

Meng Qianqian wiped the tears from her face: "I'm fine."

Madam Wang also pulled Meng Qianqian to look left and right: "Is everything really alright? No torture?"

Empress Xiao knew someone in the Imperial Guard. After asking around, she learned that Meng Qianqian and Tan'er had been captured by the Governor's Office. The Governor's Office had the most terrifying torture chambers and prisons in the capital, not to mention that the Grand Governor and Concubine Li were in cahoots with each other. She was worried that Meng Qianqian would be skinned alive in the Governor's Office.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "No, I made Madam Wang worried."

Seeing that she was not being polite, Mrs. Wang's expression eased a little. She looked around again and asked, "Where is Tan'er?"

Meng Qianqian said: "In the carriage. She was exhausted yesterday and hasn't woken up yet."

After that, she looked at the Imperial Censor Wang standing beside her and bowed politely: "Greetings, Lord Wang."

Censor Wang politely returned the greeting.

Madam Wang said, "She is the Madam Lu I mentioned to you."

Censor Wang bowed again and said, "Thank you, Madam Lu, for saving my life!"

Meng Qianqian said hurriedly: "I don't deserve it."

Censor Wang asked in confusion, "So, Madam, you asked me to come back overnight because Madam Lu was arrested by the Governor's Office? Madam Lu, may I ask what crime the Governor's Office arrested you for?"

"It's just a misunderstanding." The commander of the Jinyiwei came out with a bold move, "The matter has been investigated clearly. Madam Lu is innocent and can go back."

Mrs. Wang asked, "Then, where is Tan'er?"

The commander of the Jinyiwei said: "Although she caused a disturbance in the palace, which violated the palace rules, she is still young, eager to save the master, and it is her first offense, so she will not be punished."

Wang Yushi frowned and asked, "Who caused trouble in the palace?"

"No one! You heard it wrong!" Mrs. Wang quickly pulled the man back. She knew her man's character too well. When it comes to gossiping about others, he can't tell friend from foe!

"No, ma'am, I clearly heard..."

"You didn't hear me!"

Madam Wang pushed her husband onto the carriage and said, "Send the master back home!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The driver whipped the horse and drove the carriage away.

Mrs. Wang took Meng Qianqian's hand and got on another carriage of the Wang family.

The Lu family naturally also received the news that Meng Qianqian was arrested and taken to the Governor's Mansion. However, what they heard was not that the Imperial Guards were unable to defeat the Jinyiwei, but that the Imperial Guards took the initiative to transfer the case to the Jinyiwei.

After all, the Royal Guards also have to save face.

The old lady didn't care who was handling the case. She was furious anyway: "He's always causing trouble. How could the Lu family marry such a jinx!"

The Second Madam said, "Yes, last time we offended the Grand Commander, and this time we offended the Imperial Concubine. I think she wants to kill us on purpose! Isn't there a crime called... punishing the entire clan?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

The old lady's heart was trembling with fear. Concubine Li was the biological mother of the emperor. After the death of the retired emperor, she would naturally become the empress dowager.

How many heads in the Lu family have offended her?

"This dead girl!"

The second wife said anxiously, "Mother! We have to think of a solution quickly. We can't let her get us into trouble!"
