MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 585 honor
Gu Jingyun was about to enter the mansion, when he heard the sound of wheels, he stopped and turned around. Dongfeng stopped the carriage, and Gu Jingyun stepped forward before him and opened the curtain, stretched out his palm to the person who was sinking like water in the car, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, please get off the carriage."
Li Baolu's expression softened, she jumped out of the car while holding onto his hand, "Why did you get off the ya?"
"I met Jing Zhaoyin on the way, and only then did I know that the family members went to the yamen to report the case, so I stayed there for a while." Gu Jingyun led Baolu to go inside, "I asked Jing Zhaoyin, but recently the capital has been lost in a row. Five children, this is just for the official."
"Under the Emperor's feet, when did human traffickers become so rampant?"
"That means this group of human traffickers are not ordinary human traffickers. Jing Zhaoyin has already sent someone to follow the guards out to investigate." Gu Jingyun patted her hand and said, "Don't be too impatient."
Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "I'm not in a hurry. After all, we are strangers, but we are people with children. When we put ourselves in our shoes, our hearts are as uncomfortable as a knife. So I hope they can be safe. I have told Anbu. If there is news, do some tricks to let the fast catchers notice, I hope they will be fast enough."
"I heard that Wei Zhen and Jing Hui brought back a little girl?"
Li Baolu nodded slightly, "She said her surname was Xie, and she was from a side branch of the Xie family."
Li Baolu paused slightly when he said this, rubbed his forehead and said, "I just remembered about going after the traffickers, but I forgot to go to Xie's house to inform me."
Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "It's still early before the curfew, just let Nanfeng go."
Li Baolu asked Qingling to go to Xie Yi to get the handwritten letter and address, and asked Nanfeng to send the handwritten letter, "Don't make a statement, she is a girl, and it is not good for her to spread it out."
The south wind responded, "Madam, don't worry, the little ones must be careful."
The address given by Xie Yi is also in the inner city. It’s really not far from Lingsheng Street. Li Baolu and the others just finished dinner and came back from Nanfeng. He came back alone.
"The letter was sent in, but," Nan Feng scratched his head and said, "I don't think the situation at that house looks like a child has been lost, ma'am, did that Miss Xie make a mistake?"
Li Baolu said indifferently, "Just send the letter. Miss Xie is not too young. How could she even write the wrong address for delivery? I'll find out tomorrow."
Xie Yizang Zangzang, she knew from the beginning that she could not give her real address, or even her real identity.
She doesn't care, as long as the part about the traffickers is true.
Li Baolu yawned and waved: "Okay, you can go down and rest too."
"Yes." Nan Feng bowed and stepped back.
Gu Jingyun saw her yawning and tears came to the corners of her eyes, so she could not help but hug her and said, "Okay, let's go to bed first, and there will be news tomorrow."
Li Baolu nodded slightly, and went back to the room hand in hand with Gu Jingyun, "I haven't had time to ask Weizhen and Jingxi about this trip, and An An, is it crazy to be taken by Weizhen and the others?"
"Well, I was so crazy that I was so tired that I fell asleep."
Li Baolu only then realized that her daughter had already fallen asleep on the cot with her arms and legs stretched out. Apparently, they fell asleep while they were talking in the study.
Li Baolu stepped forward and picked up a small blanket to cover her stomach, and yawned again: "I'm sleepy too."
Gu Jingyun hugged her and whispered: "Go to sleep, sleep more tomorrow, you won't be able to sleep in after the academy starts."
But the next day, Li Baolu still couldn't sleep late, and there was almost a knock on the door when it was just a little light outside.
Heart reported from outside the door: "Master, Madam, a distinguished guest has arrived at home."
Gu Jingyun frowned and got up, seeing Baolu trying so hard to open her eyes, she couldn't help being annoyed, she lowered her voice and said, "Let them wait."
After saying that, he lay down and took Baolu into his arms, letting her continue to sleep.
The hearts outside the door tangled for a while, but in the end they didn't dare to speak again, and could only leave slowly.
The guests outside the door are really distinguished guests, sir!
Li Baolu had been awakened. Although it was very difficult, she still got up. Anyway, she couldn't fall asleep any more, so she might as well get up.
Li Baolu yawned and washed up and arrived in the front hall after two distinguished guests had already drank two cups of tea and were looking out anxiously.
Seeing Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu coming together, they got up quickly, but thinking of their own identity, they suppressed it and didn't take the lead in salute.
Gu Jingyun's face was a little heavy, and he cupped his hands: "I have seen the Prince of Cheng County, the Lord of Chonghua County."
County Prince Cheng then bowed his hands in return, "Master Gu, you're polite, I'm harassing my sister."
Chonghua County Lord bowed and saluted, glanced behind them, and was slightly disappointed to see that there was no one she was looking for, she forced a smile and said: "Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, I came to the door today because yesterday's servants from your house went to the house. The Xie family sent a letter, I don't know where the little girl who wrote the letter is, can I see her?"
Seeing her haggard face and sitting with Prince Cheng, Li Baolu looked older than Prince Cheng, so she couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Miss Xie is resting in the guest room, it's still early, I'm afraid she's not yet Get up."
County Lord Chonghua's eyes were hot, and he leaned forward and said, "Then I wonder if I can go see her, I, I'll take a look..." to see if she is the person she was looking for.
Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun glanced at Prince Cheng and nodded slightly to her.
Li Baolu got up and said, "The county master comes with me."
It was still early, and Xie Yigang had just been on the run, so he was obviously very tired, and now he was sleeping soundly. Li Baolu opened the door and Princess Chonghua went in, but she didn't move at all.
Chonghua County Master passed Li Baolu and hurried to the inner room. When he saw the person lying on the bed, he couldn't help covering his mouth, so excited that tears fell, and the mammy who came with her pulled her tightly and whispered. Said: "The princess, the lady is still sleeping."
County Master Chonghua covered his mouth and went out, and only when he was in the yard did he dare to let go of his hands and sob. She wiped away her tears, turned around and bowed her knees to Li Baolu and said, "Mrs. Gu, I think you guessed it, it's not the daughter of the side branch, but my biological daughter, the eldest daughter of the Xie family."
Li Baolu reached out to support her and said, "I guessed it as soon as the county master and the county king came."
County Master Chonghua wiped the corners of his eyes and said sincerely: "Thank you Mrs. Gu for helping out, otherwise I said that I might never see each other in my life."
"Didn't your house go to the yamen to report the crime?"
If they go, with the influence of the Xie family and the Chengjun palace, it is impossible for this matter to be so quiet, and it is impossible for Li Baolu to not know.
County Master Chonghua's face was a little ugly, she forced a smile and said: "We just thought the child was lost, so we just let the servants and servants look around, and report the case in time."
Li Baolu didn't ask any more questions, but told her about how Qu Weizhen and her brother Xie Yi met, and also mentioned the traffickers, saying, "I don't want to ask about some things, but I still hope that Miss Xie can provide more information. There are many clues to help the yamen catch the traffickers early and rescue those children."
County Master Chonghua nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu, I'll go ask them one by one."
Li Baolu looked at Princess Chonghua in surprise.
"The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for those children," Chonghua County Lord said solemnly: "The yamen has limited manpower, I will ask my elder brother to send a team of government soldiers to assist and try to rescue those children as soon as possible. God can bless those children."
The county lord Chonghua was even more anxious when he said this, and he didn't care that his daughter was still sleeping, so he went in and woke her up to ask about the situation.
Li Baolu did not go in, but stood in the yard. She heard a few loud cries suddenly sounded in the room, and then the cries gradually stopped. She heard the county master Chonghua softly asking Xie Yi about the process of being **** and being detained. Smuggling out...
Li Baolu stood in the yard for a while. Seeing that the mother and daughter could not finish talking for a while, she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
County Prince Cheng and County Lord Chonghua came to the door early in the morning, not to mention that they didn’t have time for breakfast, but even if they had time, they had no appetite.
So when the breakfast was served, the brothers and sisters sat at the table with Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.
Xie Yi's eyes were red, and he was also pulled to the dining table by his mother.
County Master Chonghua felt that her daughter had only been missing for three days, but she had already lost a lot of weight, and was deeply distressed.
If it weren't for being a guest at someone else's house, she would really like to put all the delicious food on the table in her bowl. Prince Cheng also looked at his niece distressedly, turned his head and sincerely thanked Gu Jingyun again: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu. already."
Gu Jingyun said with a light smile: "The Duke of Cheng would like to thank the two disciples of me and my wife. They brought the people back, and my wife and I just helped send a letter with the wrong address."
Xie Yi blushed when he heard the words, bowed his head in shame and said nothing.
Cheng County Prince and Chonghua County Lord looked as usual, and still said very sincerely: "The two young masters want to thank you, but Master Gu and Mrs. Gu also want to thank you. It's not because of Master Gu and Mrs. Gu that the two sons are so good. Madam's teaching?"
"Father, Mother!" Gu Jingyun heard the footsteps of Ding Ding Deng, then looked up and saw An Anchong running in outside, plunged into his arms and said, "You guys, don't wait for me! Bad guys!"
County Prince Cheng looked at him with a smile, "This is a young lady, she's really smart and cute." After that, he took off a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to An An, and said with a smile, "Come on little boy, this is a gift from your uncle to meet you."
An An glanced at his father, saw his father nodded slightly before reaching out to take it, and said in a milky voice, "Thank you uncle."
"It's so good," Chengjun Wang sighed, "I was like her when I was young, girls always have to be pampered, who knows that she has grown up temperament, and she dares to throw off the servants and run away when she goes out to temple fairs. "
"Being caught by the traffickers this time can be regarded as a lesson for her, but the world has always treated women harshly. Even if she is okay, once this matter spreads, it will damage her reputation. Rumors are like knives, and people can kill people."
Gu Jingyun hugged An An and said lightly, "Junior Cheng doesn't have to worry too much. Miss Xie is still young and you haven't reported to the officials. The trouble is not big, so naturally there is room for manoeuvre."
