The Divine Doctor: The Daughter Of The Frist Wife
1082.
Judge Lu's words attracted Madam Lu and Feng Yu Heng's attention. The two moved to the window to look outside, but they saw a group of people fighting in front of the entrance of the inn.
Usually, fights like this on the streets were very common, and would not attract their attention, but this quarrel happened to happen in front of the inn where they were staying.
The person who brought them here said that this inn was specially prepared for the guests who came early to celebrate his birthday. The people who lived here were all officials and family members who had come from far away. Outside the door, the palace leader had sent soldiers to stand guard, ensuring the safety of the officials.
Usually this kind of arrangement is so reasonable that the public does not mind. There were even some who were grateful for the thorough arrangement of the Duan Mu family. But at this moment, there was a woman outside, loudly saying. "What are you doing? We came to the North from far away. After settling down, we wanted to get out and walk the road to enjoy the snow in the North. Why are we not allowed out?”
The guard leader replied. "There's no reason. Not being able to go out means not being able to go out. This is also for your own safety."
“What might happen to us while walking the road?” One of the young ladies was dissatisfied and said. “Could this place be filled with bandits?”
A mistress at the side quickly covered her mouth and scolded. "Don't talk nonsense!" But he also agreed with what the young miss said, then he pointed towards the person who was walking on the streets and said. “Look, didn't all those people walk outside. Did something happen?"
But who would have thought that the guard would say. “You are different from them. They can, but you can't. Quickly go and rest. There are three more days until the leader's birthday party. During these three days, no one was allowed to take half a step outside the inn!" After saying this, the guards immediately arranged for people to be pushed in. At the same time, he slammed the inn door shut with the sound of "bang!”.
The guard who was speaking suddenly looked up at the building. In an instant, the people who had all this time witnessed this scene from the window immediately retreated and closed the window.
Judge Lu also closed the window and calmly said to Madam Lu. "Let's go down and see if we can get out."
Madam Lu became cautious and thought for a moment, nodded and said. "All right." He then brought Feng Yu Heng and started down the stairs. Judge Lu also followed behind.
The mistress and the youngster who was barred from leaving were still in the first-floor hall of the inn. They were discussing this, and their voices were filled with dissatisfaction. The innkeeper comforted them from the side. "Everyone, this is for your own good! Right now, Qian Zhou was in a mess. The Northern Region was close to Qian Zhou. If some enemies manage to sneak in, it will be too dangerous for all of you, as family officials."
“Although that's the case, we can't close the door. Isn't this like jail?” Who knew which young lady had arrived muttering this in a very slow voice. However, it was still heard by Feng Yu Heng.
Madam Lu's expression became solemn, as she walked towards the door. Upon seeing her ferocious appearance, the mistresses and the youngster who caused the commotion all calmed down. They all turned to look. The shopkeeper immediately advanced forward and said in a licked tone. "Mrs, Mr. Office, you really can't go out! Please help me and don't trouble this lowly fellow."
Madam Lu's eyes became sharp, and she said out loud. "I am a member of the Duan Mu family. Leader Duan Mu is my grandfather, and the daughter of a concubine from my palace lives in the ninth residence of the leader's palace, and she is the most favored concubine. How can we be treated like this!" As he said this, he glanced towards the mistress and the youngster with a face full of disdain.
The shopkeeper was a little troubled. On one hand, he did not dare to defy the orders of his leader. On the other hand, she was extremely afraid of Madam Lu's background. But after thinking for a while, he had to correct it, saying. "Right now, the most favored concubine was the concubine who was in the twelfth residence. Not the concubine in the ninth residence as the Madam had said!"
Judge Lu was surprised and hurriedly said. "It hasn't even been a year, yet he has already received twelve?"
The people inside the banquet hall were very dissatisfied with Madam Lu, but the matter of the concubine had managed to change the subject, when someone said. "I heard that the concubine being nurtured was getting younger. The youngest one hasn't even reached the age of marriage."
The shopkeeper repeatedly waved his hand, slowly saying. "This can't be talked about! This can't be said! If this news comes out, you really won't be able to get out!"
Judge Lu's face had already reached its bleakest point. Madam Lu also felt unreconciled, so she directly came forward and slammed the door a few times, "bang bang bang!" Finally, someone outside scolded. "Stop making a fuss!"
Madam Lu loudly said. "I am a member of the Duan Mu family. The main leader Duan Mu is my grandfather. Let me out. I want to say hello to Grandpa!"
"You can't!" The person outside did not even think long before bluntly saying. "The master has given orders that those who enter the inn should not go out. He did not mention anything about relatives. You are not allowed to continue to cause a commotion. Otherwise, don't blame us for being disrespectful!"
This shout managed to scare the people who were inside the room. They all understood what it meant to be disrespectful. It's just that they don't understand why guests need to be treated this way.
Judge Lu furrowed his brows tightly and did not look at his wife. At this moment, Madam Lu was also in a great rage. But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. With the current state of affairs, he also wanted to know the reason. However, no one could tell him.
Judge Lu coldly snorted then turned around and went upstairs. Feng Yu Heng immediately went to support Madam Lu and followed behind her. After the three entered the room, Judge Lu said. "It used to be that when we were in Xiao Zhou, I heard that the relationship of the Northern Province and Qian Zhou was unclear. I said that we should not make this journey, but you insisted that we come. What about now? Something happened, right?"
