Chapter 64: Investigation
"There are still a few months to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and he is studying every day, and he is even busier than me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chen Yuan laughed.
"The marriage between Gongzi Chen and the little girl ......"
Yue Qi had the intention to advance the marriage, and who knew before he spoke, so he let Chen Yuan block back, "This matter is not in a hurry, there are more important things in front of us." Although I have already hooked up with them, it is not easy to go one day. ”
"Yes." Yue Qi nodded and took a sip of wine.
Yue Qi drank a lot of wine today, and when he got home, he was already a little drunk.
Yue Xinran sat in the carriage, watched him staggered into the house by Xiao Si, and sighed.
She always thought that Yue Qi was working so hard to make money in order to prove himself to the world, even without his mother's help, he could do it.
Know why she learned of her mother's death.
Is it true that my father only agreed to this deal just to marry Chen Yuan?
She shook her head, "Let's go back." ”
Le Yu nodded, "The master is drunk like this, and he can't chat with the young lady anymore." ”
Yue Xinran thought for a while and said, "You go and call Xiao Si." As his father's personal junior, maybe he can know something.
Xiao Si helped Yue Qi to his home, naturally with the Su family to take care of him, Le Yu said that Miss wanted to see him, he didn't hesitate at all, and followed out.
"Who is the master drinking with today?" Yue Xinran said in the car.
Xiao Si stood respectfully beside the car, through the curtain, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, it is with Lord Chen Yuan." ”
Xiao Si was a little unpredictable about Miss's thoughts, but he didn't dare to urge, so he had to wait.
"How long have you been following your father?"
Xiao Si was slightly stunned and said: "Miss Hui, I have been serving by the master's side for six years, and I only started to be a personal servant four years ago. "Xiao Si is in his early twenties this year, and he began to follow Yue Qi when he was a teenager, and he was promoted to the position of a personal servant three years ago.
"Oh! So who was with the master before? ”
Xiao Si had even more doubts in his heart, but this question could be asked by any person, so he naturally wouldn't hide it, "I used to serve by the master's side with the seven stewards, and now I am responsible for managing the Zhuangzi in the suburbs." ”
Yue Xinran nodded and asked, "In the past few years with the master, has the master ever mentioned the deceased lady?" ”
Xiao Si chuckled in his heart, this is what he wanted to ask.
"This ......," he didn't know what to say at the moment. To say that it has not been mentioned, it is impossible, and the young lady will not die of sadness when she hears it. If it has been mentioned, the things that have been mentioned must also be spoken.
Le Yu stepped forward and pushed him and gave him a look, "Miss asked, just tell the truth, will you be treated badly?" Even if the master asks, there is a young lady to support him, and the old man has always listened to the young lady the most, and you don't know it. ”
Xiao Si gritted his teeth, "Naturally, I mentioned it." ”
"Oh." Yue Xinran's tone became lighter and lighter, "What have you mentioned?" ”
The more she was like this, the more nervous Xiao Si became, and she knelt on the ground, "The old man didn't mention much." ”
Yue Xinran lifted the curtain, revealing a slightly haggard face, "What are you afraid of?" Could it be that the master will say anything bad? ”
"No, it's not." Xiao Si kowtowed, "The master doesn't let the little ones talk nonsense." Miss, just spare the little one. ”
"Lift your face." Yue Xinran looked at his face and didn't let go of his every expression, "Just like today, the old man is drunk, will he say something about the lady back then." ”
Xiao Si shook his head, "After the master was drunk, he didn't speak. Every time he mentioned the deceased lady, the lord was always in pain. In the past, the seven stewards were sent to the suburbs because they had mentioned their wives once. ”
"Get up." Yue Xinran said, "I just want to relieve my father's worries, since you don't want to say it, I'll go directly to ask my father." The little guy next to my father, I, as a daughter, can also arrange it for him. Father wants to come and listen to me, if ......"
Xiao Si cried with a sad face, "Miss." "He believed that Mademoiselle could really remove him.
She continued: "As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, my father won't know about our conversation. ”
Xiao Si didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead, stood aside, and said slowly: "The master always says I'm sorry Madame." ”
"What else?" Yue Xinran asked.
"And ...... The old man said...... I want justice for my wife. ”
Sure enough, the diligent running of the family business and her involvement in the business with the Hull clan were not all because of money, nor were they all because of her family.
Is it for revenge?
"Did the lord ever say who he wanted to seek justice?"
"I don't know." Xiao Si sighed and said, anyway, he opened his mouth, and it was not easy to hide anything, he said: "The master once mentioned that the little one only knows that the person is in the capital." The lord never touches this question, and the small one is just a guess. At this time, Xiao Si began to think that with the participation of Miss, the old man's life would not be so sad. He found himself relaxed a lot when he spoke out.
"It's too hard, sir. Miss must help the master. Xiao Si thought to himself.
Xiao Si is telling the truth.
Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, I can already get one step closer to the answer.
"You serve by the master's side. I will not do you any harm in the future. ”
Xiao Si cried: "The little one has no face to stay by the master's side." ”
Yue Xinran lowered the curtain and said, "I'm no one else, even if the master knows, I won't blame you." Besides, I already know what you're talking about. "Except for the capital.
……
Gongsun Yu leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed.
He was still digesting the news from his subordinates. Two days later, Yue Qi was going to Luoshigang to trade with people. Who did he trade with, and he went to Luoshigang.
Moreover, the thing that was traded was a large quantity of cotton.
The answer seems to be on the horizon.
Was she really involved?
Gongsun Yu has a terrible headache, what should he do?
The order has been given, follow the caravan in two days, and be sure to find out. Once there is a result, then it will be a fatal blow to the Yue family. Yue Qi, this bastard, does he know what he is doing? Do you know what the consequences will be for your children's families?
Gongsun Yu exhaled, and in front of him was her gentle and kind smile when they met for the first time.
The only hope now is that she doesn't know about it, and maybe she can save her life.
In the past, in the face of such a thing, Gongsun Yu never showed mercy to his subordinates, he had no foundation, and the reason why he was able to achieve today's position was all on his own. The trust of the superior is his only reliance.
"Your Excellency?" Outside the door, a crisp voice like a yellow bird sounded.
"Su Xin, come in."
A beautiful woman in a bright skirt walked in, graceful and colorful, with snowy skin, giving people a gorgeous and bright feeling but not enchanting and charming, pleasing to the eye.
"My lord, are you not feeling well?" Su Xin took two steps forward, put her hands on his shoulders, and kneaded gently.
