Chapter 18
Chen Yannian hurried to the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion, and was suddenly hit by a child. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that child looks like he is only seven or eight years old, seeing that Chen Yannian is dressed luxuriously, he should be a nobleman, so he keeps apologizing.
Chen Yannian saw that he was a child, and he was not easy to deal with children. And he was still in a hurry, so he ignored it and left directly. Seeing that Chen Yannian didn't care, the child slipped away.
Erfu led the way in front and found that Chen Yannian hadn't followed, so he looked back. I happened to see the back of the child leaving, and Chen Yannian's expressionless cold face. Erfu touched his nose and continued to lead the way.
The guards of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion saluted one after another when they saw Chen Yannian and opened the door of the mansion. When Chen Han saw Chen Yannian coming back, he immediately ran to Chen Yannian's side and smiled flatteringly: "Master, you can come back." The grandfather and the lady are waiting for you in the hall. "Chen Han is the second housekeeper of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion, and everything is suppressed by Chen Ye above. He hated it, and he always wanted to surpass Chen Ye. But he didn't have the ability. Chen Hangan's practice is not as good as Chen Ye, and he is the best at patting sycophants, coaxing the masters in the house to be happy. In order to surpass Chen Ye, he worked harder to please the master in the house.
Chen Yannian was in a bad mood, and he only felt disgusted when he saw Chen Han's flattering appearance, he frowned: "Lead the way." Chen Han happily went to lead Chen Yannian, his expression was still serious, after all, something like this happened in the house, but the corners of his mouth still bent uncontrollably. Chen Yannian saw Chen Han's expression in his eyes, and the cold aura emanating from his body became a little colder.
Erfu saw that the second housekeeper led the way for Chen Yannian, so he happily followed Chen Yannian's rear. Erfu followed slowly, as if walking in the courtyard, he almost didn't put his hands behind his head, and followed with a hanger.
When a few people came to the main hall, they saw the grandfather Chen Changshi and the wife Chen Wu sitting on chairs in the hall. Chen Changshi's face was not good, but the temper he should have had just now had already been released, but his face was not good. He held a teacup in one hand and talked to Chen Wu while sipping tea. The maid who was waiting didn't dare to make a sound, as if walking on thin ice. There was a line of kneeling people in front of the main hall.
Seeing that Chen Yannian was finally back, the anger that Chen Changshi had suppressed suddenly came up, and he couldn't resist the idea of smashing Chen Yannian with a cup: "What, now I know that I'm back?" ”
Chen Wu felt sorry for his son, and when Mrs. Chen's anger was not yet full, he persuaded: "Wenxiu (Wenxiu is Mrs. Chen's character), don't patronize and lose your temper, let Nian'er interrogate these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead." Don't be angry, you think it's too late to come back if you have something to do in the coming year. ”
Mrs. Chen spat out: "How defeated the loving mother is, do you not know what he is doing here?" Why give him this fig leaf? (Erfu is Chen Wu's little servant, Erfu knows where Chen Yannian is messing around, and Chen Wu's naturally knows.) Mrs. Chen was on fire, so naturally he didn't want to give Chen Yannian a good look.
Chen Yannian embarrassedly saluted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen: "Father, mother, the child came back late, is it the child's." Chen Han and the others also saluted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and stood silently aside. Chen Han also wanted to step forward to pat himself on the back, but right now Mrs. Chen is angry, and if he goes now, he can only become cannon fodder. Erfu was on the sidelines thinking about what to eat tonight, traveling into space.
Seeing that Chen Yannian was sincere in admitting his mistakes, Mrs. Chen was angry: "Your mother and I are not interested in caring about the affairs in your yard." If it weren't for Guo (Chen Yannian's wife) who couldn't be injured and couldn't take care of things, plus He had a miscarriage, I wouldn't want to take care of it. Mrs. Chen pointed to a seat, and Chen Yannian sat up.
Seeing that the parents had a tired look on their faces, Chen Yannian said thoughtfully: "This is a matter of the child's yard, but it is difficult for my father and mother to interrogate me, and I shouldn't have the ability." Now that the child has returned, leave it to the child. Dad, mother, you go and rest first. ”
Chen Changshi snorted coldly: "No need, I'm just waiting here for you to find out which dog slave is the one who is the heir." "The Chen family does not have many heirs, especially Chen Changshi, Chen Yannian and Chen Yanshou, the two sons-in-law and the concubine Chen Yan. And Chen Yanshou entered the royal family again, and only had a daughter of the county lord of Anping. Chen Yannian also has a son-in-law of Chen Fengyuan, and Chen Fengning has passed on to Chen Yannian, and the concubine is also Chen Fengqing. That's why Chen Changshi cares so much about his heirs and makes a big deal about it.
Chen Yannian was helpless and asked Chen Ye, who had been standing by Mrs. Chen's side, how the interrogation was. Chen Ye replied respectfully: "Master, those kneeling below are the people who served Mrs. and Aunt He today. The first one on the left hand side is Aunt He's maid Muqiu, next to her is Madame's maid Chunhua, and the remaining five people are all helpers to save Madame and Auntie. Both maids said that they had been wronged. ”
Chen Yannian took a sip of the good tea that was served, looked at the people below, and examined it.
Chen Ye pointed at Mu Qiu and looked at Chen Yannian: "Mu Qiu said that when his wife fell, he was several steps away from his wife. He pointed at Chunhua again and said, "Chunhua didn't come down upstairs at all, so it's unlikely to be Chunhua." ”
Chen Yannian thought for a moment and asked, "Were these two maids the only ones there at that time?" ”
Mu Qiu kowtowed and replied, "I happened to see a maid sweeping the floor in the pavilion, and she stopped on the stairs when she saw that her wife was going downstairs. She happened to be next to Madame. ”
Chen Yannian's eyes stared at Mu Qiu, his eyes were stern and cold, and he asked, "What about her?" ”
"Back to Hou Ye, she is next to Chunhua." Mu Qiu didn't dare to raise his head and replied in a low voice.
Chen Yannian walked over and stopped in front of the maid: "Raise your head and tell me what's going on?" ”
The maid seemed to be frightened by Chen Yannian, and replied in a sobbing voice: "The slave is called Huashi, and she works in the miscellaneous office. Today, when I saw my wife and Aunt He going downstairs, I stopped my work and stood next to me. Wait for the masters to go down the stairs. I really didn't push Madame, I really didn't. She cried pathetically.
On the roof of the main hall of the Marquis of Zhongyi. There were two people lying on the roof, one in black and the other in green.
"Brother, why are you here?" Lin Yuan wanted to scratch the wall at this time, and he couldn't understand why a big man in the hall was so cowering and listening to the foot of the wall here.
"Obviously, I'm listening to the wall!" Lin Yehua replied as a matter of course.
Lin Yuan sighed, unable to understand his brother's logic: "Brother, how can you do such a shameless thing?" ”
"And what are you doing here?" Lin Yehua asked rhetorically, and swept Lin Yuan from top to bottom: "Tsk, wearing black clothes in broad daylight is not obvious enough, isn't it?" ”
"I, my father and mother told me to look at you, so ......" Lin Yuan was blocked by these words, and a bun blushed like a tomato.
Lin Yehua glanced at Lin Yuan lazily: "Actually, you want to hear it too, don't you?" Otherwise, how can you dress up so well. ”
The question from Lin Yuan's mouth that you know who the murderer is was silently swallowed back into his stomach. Lin Yuan complained silently in his heart: It's not to follow you.
Lin Yuan wanted to refute it, but Lin Yuan had always been the oppressed one, and he had never succeeded in resisting. The refutation was fruitless, so he could only be choked by Lin Yehua like this.
