Chapter 279 The Daughter of the Sinful Minister 27
Xining was called, and the old lady and the eldest lady were talking happily.
It turned out that in the Mansion of the Minister of Etiquette, the second young lady who had not yet left the court held a lotus viewing ceremony on the lotus pond. It was said that the young master had not yet been engaged. This time, he invited some ladies from the boudoir, but it was actually a passing thought.
Of course, the purpose of going this time was not to really get a chance to be the immediate boss of the Gu family, but since the Gu family's house was ransacked and sent to jail two months ago, someone was finally willing to post an invitation.
The eldest lady asked: "This time, dress more elegantly when you go, listen more and talk less."
I didn't go there to get the top spot and strive to be the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites, but just to regain some popularity. Moreover, King Xu Yan of Fusi in Beizhen has made it known to everyone in the capital, so who has the guts to discuss marriage.
Xining bowed slightly obediently: "Yes, mother."
On a hot day, I didn’t want to wear my hair, so I just bought two gold and jade lotus hairpins and matching earrings, found a willow-colored skirt, and held a round fan that I usually use. Anyway, the Gu Mansion was ransacked, so poor!
When the time came, I got on the carriage and went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
Halfway through the car, it suddenly stopped.
Xining ordered: "Ask me something."
Furong, who was beside her, looked over to ask the coachman, and came back and said: "A car in front has overturned, and the goods on the car have been overturned on the ground, blocking the road. It seems that it will be a while."
I heard a noise in front of me, and the owner of the escort truck screamed distressedly, calling to the man who was cleaning up.
"It's too late. Let's see if we can change the route." Xining leaned on her and gently shook her fan.
There was a trail next to it, the driver changed the route, and the car started moving again. But the small alley was more crowded and the driver drove slowly.
Xining smelled the smell of smoke and felt his eyelids were a little heavy, so he closed his eyes...
When they arrived at Shangshu Mansion, the coachman stopped the carriage and said, "Miss, we're here."
After calling twice, no one answered, and Furong didn't get out of the car either. So she turned around and lifted the car curtain, and was stunned. Furong was asleep with her eyes closed in the car, but Miss Gu was missing.
Furong was splashed with cold water, and finally woke up, looking around blankly: "Are we there yet?"
But something is wrong. Why are there old ladies and eldest ladies around me?
It seemed that Furong was confused, and the old lady was so anxious that she was sweating profusely: "Why is the person missing? How can this be good? Call Mr. Gu back quickly."
Musk said quickly: "I've already gone to invite you."
The eldest lady was asking the coachman.
After the coachman told the story, he responded: "I didn't dare to disturb the people in the Shangshu Mansion. I immediately drove the coach back the same way and asked the old lady and the eldest lady for an idea!"
Gu Tingrui rushed back. The eldest lady said: "I have sent someone to Shangshu's Mansion to tell Xin'er that she didn't know what she ate last night. She has a stomachache today and cannot go to the meeting. The matter has been sealed. If anyone asks, just say that the weather is too hot and she will go out of town. To visit relatives, her cousin’s family invited her to stay temporarily for a few days.”
Although the eldest lady was flustered, she had not lost her sense of proportion.
The reputation of the girl's family is important, so this is very appropriate. Gu Tingrui thought for a while and stood up: "Go to Beizhen Fusi and ask Xu Tongzhi for help."
If Jin Yiwei can't find anyone, no one can find him. The old lady and the eldest lady immediately agreed.
Xining slowly woke up and found that he was not lying on the carriage, but on a bed in a room. Simple furnishings with almost no frills.
In front of the room, there is an ice basin, which is slightly cool.
And she was restrained, with a strip of cloth wrapped around her head, so that she could only bite it when she closed her mouth. His feet were tied with ropes, and the most special thing was that his hands and neck were clamped in a flat wooden shackle.
The wooden shackles carried by the prisoners weighed five or ten kilograms, thirty-five kilograms for death penalty and twenty kilograms for exile. In the later stage, there will be a weight of 300 kilograms, and it will die after a few days.
But unlike the square yoke worn by the prisoners, this one is flat, and the hands are cuffed on both sides. There was also a soft pillow placed under her head, eliminating the wooden shackles that were only an inch away from her neck. Otherwise, if you lie down for a long time, the wooden shackles will leave marks on the skin on the back of your neck. She tried to get up, but the wooden shackles were fixed to the bed. But it's not a shackles bed. A shackles bed wouldn't be that comfortable. The whole body and waist must be locked, so you can't move. Because everyone eats, drinks, and poops on it, there is no mattress at all. Those who are bound will soon go crazy.
This would make her lie down more comfortable and not even have the chance to bite her tongue and commit suicide.
Xining thought for a while and secretly called out in her heart: "Mo Ming, Mo Ming, where did he go?"
After a while: "Where is the super powerful system Mo Mingda?"
"Here it comes!" Mo Ming suddenly appeared in his mind.
Xining... I'll go, don't always make me say things that go against my will, okay? That's disgusting.
Mo Ming: "You are really beautiful like this."
Xining...go to hell!
Xining: "Let's get to the point, who kidnapped me?"
Mo Ming: "Guess."
Xining...
Hold it in, hold it in. Xining asked tentatively: "Are you from King An?"
It may be that King An's old subordinates caught her and threatened Xu Mian.
Mo Ming: "You'll know in a moment!"
I really couldn't stand this system anymore. Xining tried hard to restrain himself and asked sinisterly: "It seems that as a powerful system, you should tell me the possible dangers, right?"
Mo Ming: "As a mature Lord God, you should be able to handle any unexpected events that may occur by yourself."
...Can you change the system? I want to return it!
"Haha, such a weakling, I still want to return it."
Just when he was about to have a big quarrel, Mo Ming finally reminded him: "The person who kidnapped you is here." After that, he lost his voice.
The door creaked open, and Xu Mian, wearing Feiyu uniform, walked in carrying a plate.
Xining was stunned. Why did Xu Mian kidnap her? If he persists, even the owner of the body and the entire Gu family will have to agree to the marriage. Do you have a special hobby?
Xu Mian closed the door gently and walked over with a plate, but there was no sound at all under his feet.
He placed the plate on a low table and moved the table and the plates over it. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked into her eyes calmly.
The gloominess revealed from deep in her eyes made her skin crawl all over.
Xu Mian untied the cloth around her mouth and opened the wooden shackles on the bed. He supported her shoulders and slowly made her sit up.
She must have used some kind of drug, she is still a little dizzy. He sat on the bed with his hands clamped to the left and right sides of his head, a strange posture that seemed a bit like surrender. He asked in confusion: "Why do you want to arrest me?"
The corners of Xu Mian's mouth moved slightly, and he turned around and picked up a bowl from the plate: "Eat something!"
There was also a pot with a long spout on the plate. She knew that it was used to give medicine to comatose patients. Sometimes the patient falls into a coma and cannot drink or drink medicine, so he puts the medicine and liquid food into the pot. The slender spout can be directly passed to the throat, and the medicine and liquid are poured in. Otherwise, he will be comatose for seven days, and he will die of thirst even if he is not sick. Starved to death.
Xu Mian picked up a small porcelain spoon with a thin handle, scooped out some porridge, and tried it with his lips: "Just right."
Lifting it to her lips, there seemed to be some gentleness in the calmness: "Open your mouth!"
