Chapter 564 Trust me
"Why don't you see Changlan and Changmao? Are the two children...still finishing?" Cui suddenly asked.
Regarding Dong Changlan's "death in battle", Mrs. Dong knew about it, but Dong Qingyue didn't tell the Cui family about it. Can't help it, let everyone hide it from the Dong family.
Dong Tingyun and Dong Tingzhi had heard some rumors, and they dare not speak loudly these days, especially Dong Tingyun did not dare to join Mrs. Dong, for fear that they could not help telling their grandmother about the death of their eldest brother in battle. What if there is something wrong with grandma at that time!
Moreover, she is a concubine, if something happened to her grandmother... her father would send her directly to the Qing nunnery if something happened to her grandmother, and she would never be allowed to set foot in Dong's house again.
Mrs. Dong also knew that this was not a place to talk. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui, who was still ignorant, and said, "Men do serious things, so don't ask too many questions!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Dong winked at Dong Qingyue, intending to let Dong Qingyue go back to vent to Cui Shi, Cui Shi is not a strong one, if she thinks her son is really gone, cry out Anyway, in the future, Changlan still doesn't know how to blame himself.
Dong Qingyue nodded to Mrs. Dong.
After sending Mrs. Dong back to the yard, Dong Qingyue still has a lot of things to do.
I want to send a memorial to the imperial court, and report that Dengzhou has suffered heavy losses in this war, and I beg the imperial court to reduce taxes for the people and allocate food for disaster relief.
In fact, Dong Changlan had already taken half of Dengzhou's food, and this time he made a special trip to stay in the city to let Bai Qingyu rob a lot. The imperial court reached out.
In addition, Dong Qingyue also pleaded for Bai Qingyan's credit in the memorial. He said... If Bai Qingyan hadn't planned well this time, I am afraid that Dengzhou would not be able to regain Dengzhou for the time being. Become refugees and go to other cities and counties, causing troubles for public security in various places.
After nightfall that day, Dong Changmao, who took three thousand Qingqi to chase the defeated soldiers of the Southern Army, pretended to be seriously injured and returned to the city, claiming that all the three thousand Qingqi were strangled by the Southern Army's ambushes. Qian Qingqi Dong Changmao handed over to Dong Changlan completely.
Dong Changmao was covered in blood. Under the watchful eyes of Dengzhou officials and people, he was carried into Dong's mansion, and sent to the manor's doctor for treatment.
Dong Changmao acted more realistically for the sake of the play, and he really dared to be cruel to himself, and left a lot of injuries on his body, but fortunately none of them hurt the vitals.
Dong Qingyue posted another report overnight, in which he explicitly criticized and secretly praised the Nan Rong ghost-faced general for his military skills. Unlike the previous Nan Rong generals, he seemed to be well versed in the art of war, and the Dengzhou army was invincible.
Little Cui saw that Dong Changmao was seriously injured and returned to the mansion, but she didn't see Dong Changlan. She couldn't sit still and came to Cui's place. She wanted to ask Cui for news, but was stopped by Cui's personal nurse, saying that Dong Qingyue was there. Talk to Cui about something inside.
Little Cui's face turned pale when she heard this, and she almost lost her footing, but fortunately the servant girl beside her supported her: "Young madam!"
When Dong Changmao was seriously injured and returned home, his father-in-law came to talk to his mother-in-law...and sent away the maid in the house. Could it be... something happened to Changlan!
"Sister Rong..."
Little Cui suddenly heard Bai Qingyan's voice calling her, turned her head to look at Bai Qingyan, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Bai Qing, her voice trembled slightly: "Cousin... Changmao was seriously injured and returned to the house, so my father went to find her." Mother said something, did something happen to Changlan? Cousin... If something happens to Changlan, you must not hide it from me!"
It wasn't that Xiao Cui was worried, but that she knew Dong Changlan too well. If Dong Changlan and Dong Changmao were attacked together, Dong Changlan would definitely protect his younger brother Dong Changmao with all his might and leave his life to Dong Changmao.
Just because...he is the eldest son!
Bai Qingyan gently grasped Xiao Cui's cold and trembling hand, and said: "I came here to talk to you about this matter, you come with me..."
When Xiao Cui heard this, it was as if the sky was falling, her little face was pale, and she held Bai Qingyan's hand, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move an inch: "Changlan... something happened to Changlan. ?”
Seeing Xiao Cui's appearance, Bai Qingyan turned her head and ordered Chuntao and the servant girl beside Xiao Cui to back down, and said to Xiao Cui in a low voice: "Changlan is fine, even Chang Mao's injuries are all serious. He made it himself for a joke!"
Xiao Cui looked at Bai Qingyan puzzled.
Bai Qingyan smiled at Xiao Cui, took Xiao Cui's hand to the corridor, and helped her to sit down: "You also know that the imperial court defaulted on the payment of the Dengzhou army. If it continues like this , in the future... the Dong family will end up like the Bai family sooner or later! So uncle needs Changlan to do some things, these things cannot be known to outsiders, and Changlan's identity cannot be used, in order to prevent others from discovering the clues, so... Uncle asked Chang Lan to fake death and Chang Mao to pretend to be seriously injured!"
Originally, Bai Qingyan didn't agree to tell Xiao Cui about this matter, not because she couldn't believe it, but felt that the fewer people who knew about it, the safer Dong Changlan would be.
But... the grandmother said that Xiao Cui could be trusted, and she had to tell Xiao Cui, because Xiao Cui was already pregnant and had just conceived.
Although Bai Qingyan didn't know Xiao Cui well enough, she believed in her grandmother enough, so when she heard that Xiao Cui came to find Cui today, she followed her and personally explained Xiao Cui's doubts.
"Fake death?!" Xiao Cui's eyes widened, and she stood up emotionally, as if she didn't believe that Bai Qing's words lied to her, tears were like broken threads.
"Sister Rong, Bai Qingyan swears by my heroic spirit of the Bai family that Changlan is safe and sound! If what I said to you today is not true, Bai Qingyan will die!" Bai Qingyan held Xiao Cui's hand , helped her to sit down again, "Trust me!"
Bai Qingyan swears so solemnly, Xiao Cui has no reason not to believe it, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, held Bai Qingyan's hand firmly and cried out: "No cousin, I don't believe you! I'm just scared..."
As she said that, Xiao Cui carefully looked down at her stomach, bit her lips tightly, looked up at Bai Qingyan who was standing under the lamp in the corridor, and said with a sob: "I know, father, Changlan and cousin all I am a person who does great things. I am a backyard woman. My cousin and Changlan will not tell me what I want to do. In reason, I am not that ignorant, but Changlan should tell me in person. ! We are husband and wife... Could it be that he can't even trust me?"
Seeing that Xiao Cui's handkerchief was about to be torn apart, Bai Qingyan handed her handkerchief to Xiao Cui.
