Chapter 018: Fang Yu's doubts
Seeing that Fang Yu didn't care about it, Li Siyu smiled, to be honest, she wouldn't care about Tong Mu's opinion.
Fang Yu said: "I also went to the Hou Ye's birthday banquet, and I was very impressed by Aunt Zhang's song. Since you are the maid next to the second lady, you must have heard of it. ”
Li Siyu never thought that he would also participate in the Hou Ye's birthday banquet, you must know that this birthday banquet is actually a family banquet, and being able to participate in the family banquet shows that the Hou Mansion has never regarded him as an outsider. That Fang Yu's status in the Hou Mansion is definitely not low.
Li Siyu said: "Oh, are you talking about the song "See Cooking Smoke Again"? Of course I did. That song was what she taught Aunt Zhang to sing, and she naturally heard it.
Fang Yu asked, "Have you just heard of it?" He wondered if she had taught Aunt Zhang the song.
Fang Yu was very puzzled by Li Siyu's identity, and he also sent someone to investigate, and found that she was not what the people in the house said, but a fellow villager of the second lady's former maid Xiaohe. Other than that, however, he didn't find any information about her. This made him very puzzled.
He is the number one master in the rivers and lakes, and with his connections in the rivers and lakes, he can't find out the details of a maid, which makes him feel that she is not an ordinary person.
He even suspected that she was an undercover agent put by the prince in the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion has a close relationship with the former prince, and the current prince will naturally send people to watch the Hou Mansion's every move, so those who have recently entered the Hou Mansion may be the prince's eyeliner.
Li Siyu is the former prince who entered the Hou Mansion not long after he was deposed, and she is very suspicious.
However, he was not interested in these things involving intrigue, and he stayed in the Hou Mansion just to treat the eldest prince.
However, he was very curious about Li Siyu, so he wanted to know more about her. But since she deliberately concealed it, he couldn't ask questions directly, so he could only let this bend inquire.
If she says that she has not only heard it, but also can sing it, and that she taught Aunt Zhang to sing it, then he can continue the topic and ask her why she has this song, and maybe he can ask a lot about her.
Li Siyu had some doubts in his heart, what did he mean by asking? Could it be that he knew that I taught that song to Aunt Zhang?
"I've heard Aunt Zhang sing many times, and I can sing too." What she means is that she can sing, and Aunt Zhang can also sing, and she taught Aunt Zhang first. However, she reversed the order a bit, so that it was easy to understand that because she had heard Aunt Zhang sing many times, she would also sing.
She admitted that she deliberately wanted Fang Yu to misunderstand. Because she didn't want to expose too much of herself. She is not afraid of revealing her identity as a traverser, but afraid of being suspected of being Li Siyu, the granddaughter of Li Shilang, and afraid of being sent to the guillotine.
Fang Yu smiled slightly, he couldn't tell what Li Siyu's words meant. Did she listen to Aunt Zhang sing many times and learned it, or did she know it in the first place?
In fact, he was more inclined to have this answer in her heart.
However, he could tell that she didn't want to say too much, so in order not to arouse her disgust, he didn't ask more.
Li Siyu knew that Zhang's mother and daughter must still be waiting for news, so she thanked Fang Yu and went back.
After Li Siyu went back, he informed them of all the news he had found.
After Aunt Zhang learned that Jiang Ke was such a person, she was very angry, she knew that Mrs. Hou had no good intentions, presumably Mrs. Hou hoped that Cao Xiuling would marry Jiang Ke, and then suffer from Jiang Ke for the rest of her life.
Cao Xiuling said: "Auntie, if Jiang Ke is such a person, I don't want to marry him." You go and tell your dad and let him push off the marriage. ”
Aunt Zhang is being favored now, so Cao Xiuling feels that as long as Aunt Zhang begs Hou Ye, Hou Ye will definitely quit this family business.
Aunt Zhang sighed, "Jiang Ke is Madame's nephew, Master Hou takes care of Madame's face, and in the end, this matter will definitely be handed over to Madame." It's useless for me to beg the marquis, I can only ask Mrs. for this matter, but I think Mrs. has already made a decision in her heart, even if I kneel down and beg her, she will not change her mind. ”
Cao Xiuling also knew that it was useless to beg Mrs. Hou, and her tears immediately flowed out, "I don't want to marry such a person." ”
Even if she was asked to marry a commoner as a concubine, she would not want to marry Jiang Ke as the main room.
Aunt Zhang said: "I don't want you to marry him either, I'll go and beg the Hou Ye and Mrs. now, I hope they can push off this marriage!" ”
After Aunt Zhang left, Cao Xiuling began to cry in her room, and Li Siyu comforted: "Second Miss, don't cry yet, things haven't reached the worst yet, perhaps, Master Hou will push away this family business." ”
In fact, she was just comforting her, if Master Hou really handed over this matter to Mrs. Hou to deal with, then Mrs. Hou would definitely marry her to Jiang Ke.
This is an undoubted thing.
Speaking of ancient women, it is quite sad that they cannot control their own destiny.
Cao Xiuling said: "Really? A flame of hope lit up in her eyes.
Li Siyu nodded, "At least we still have expectations for now." ”
Cao Xiuling said: "What if I really want to marry Jiang Ke?" When she thought about it, she felt that the future was dark.
Li Siyu said: "If this is really the case, then run away from marriage." She said it calmly, and it didn't seem like a big deal to her.
Cao Xiuling stopped crying and looked at Li Siyu with wide eyes, "Running away from marriage? Although Li Siyu said that she ran away from marriage, and she had some immunity to such things, but what happened to her and let her escape from marriage, she still felt that it was too deviant.
Li Siyu said: "Of course, this is the worst step, and I don't want you to take this step unless you have to." ”
Although she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, let her run away from home, how will she live? The Great Jin Dynasty is not like modern times, women can also work outside to support themselves, as long as they work hard, there is no problem in eating together.
If Cao Xiuling runs away, she really has no way to support herself. Unless, when you leave, bring more belongings from the Hou Mansion.
As Mrs. Hou expected, Master Hou handed over this matter to Mrs. Hou to deal with.
When Mrs. Hou saw Aunt Zhang coming, she just said lightly: "Sister thought about it so quickly?" "She thought she was supposed to come tomorrow morning, but she didn't expect to come now.
Aunt Zhang said: "Madam, the eldest lady is not married yet, I think Xiuling's marriage should wait a little longer!" ”
Mrs. Hou said: "You don't have to worry about getting married, but the marriage can be decided first." ”
Aunt Zhang knelt down and said, "Madam, I beg you, for the sake of Xiuling calling your mother, you can help Xiuling push this marriage!" ”
Although she knew that Mrs. Hou had never treated Cao Xiuling as a daughter, Aunt Zhang still hoped that she could let Cao Xiuling go for the sake of Cao Xiuling calling her mother.
