Chapter 162: Everyone's Thoughts Are Their Own Thoughts
When Mrs. Lin heard Zhou Houye's words, her heart was sour, and she almost burst into tears, but in the end, she still held back, looked at Zhou Houye coldly, and swept away his interest, "I told Mei'er a long time ago that her father has died, and he has been dead for more than ten years, and you have disappeared for so long, so why bother to disturb our mother and daughter Qingping now!" What's more, Mei'er already has a marriage contract, and you really don't have to worry about the affairs of our mother and daughter......"
"Wanrong...... Wan'er is my daughter, so naturally I want to take her back to the Hou Mansion! She is the only eldest lady in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, how can she marry so easily? Tell me, who is the man with whom she is betrothed? No...... It's better to quit the marriage quickly, there are so many famous sons in the capital, which one is not better than coming out of this kind of small mountain nest? Speaking of the back, Marquis Zhou talked to himself alone, not caring about the feelings of the two people around him when they heard this.
Mrs. Lin is a little better, although she is still angry when she hears this, her face is a little gentler, at least Marquis Zhou is still thinking about their mother and daughter, and about Lin Mei's ......
But the other person standing next to her was sad in her heart, Zhou Yanxi's eyes were red with grievance, she always thought that although she was not loved by Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, she could stay in Anyuan Houfu with the favor of Marquis Zhou, although she was only the adopted daughter of Houfu, but she also had the title of "Miss Houfu" anyway, but Marquis Zhou's words showed his true thoughts without opinion......
That is, the only eldest lady in the Hou Mansion is Zhou Yanwan, even if Zhou Yanwan has disappeared for more than ten years. may not be alive in the world at all now, but Marquis Zhou still thinks that his only daughter is only Zhou Yanwan, and other than that. No one else.
"Master Hou, if the women are not here, please let the women leave." Mrs. Lin looked directly at Marquis Zhou and said lightly, although she was indeed happy for a second just now, she still had no expression on her face.
When Marquis Zhou saw Mrs. Lin looking like this, he was secretly anxious, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Mrs. Lin. I was afraid that Mrs. Hou Fuzheng, who had been looking for more than ten years and finally found it, would be angry with herself again, so she swallowed her anger and put on a smiling face to please her. "Wanrong, when I saw you on the street, there was no one else around......"
"No one else...... "No!" I was sleeping in the inn, why did I suddenly appear in this room when I woke up? Could it be ......
Come to think of this. Lin Ming's eyes widened suddenly. Angrily accused, "Zhou Chen! Shame on you! ”
"This ...... How can I say that I am shameless? Zhou Houye's face was inexplicably wonderful, although Mrs. Lin's anger came suddenly and unreasonable, but he still smiled bitterly with a good temper, and there was a faint sentimentality in his heart.
In the past, Zhao Wanrong was the object of learning from all the ladies in the capital, and the description of his demeanor was quiet and moving, which made other ladies blush, so that later. Even the sky-high price is favored by her...... If it weren't for those bad things at the beginning, I'm afraid that Zhao Wanrong wouldn't have to be in the people for so long now. Let Zhou Chen look for more than ten years!
"I slept well in the inn before...... But ......" Mrs. Lin said this, and her whole person trembled, obviously extremely angry.
"Speaking of which, Wanrong, I also have something to tell you......" Marquis Zhou paused, and then continued, "At that time, I heard that someone had seen your trace in Linshan County, so I immediately rushed over overnight, and it was midnight when I arrived at Jinzhou City, and at that time, Jinzhou City was under martial law at night for some reason, if it wasn't for my edict, those soldiers guarding the city would not let me into the city." ”
Mrs. Lin sneered a few times, there is an edict on her body? If it weren't for the identity of that Hou Ye, who would let a stranger into the city in the middle of the night?!
"At that time, my sister told me that there were two strange people on the street, as if a man wanted to do something wrong to a woman, and the woman was also asleep, so I asked the guards to come forward and save the woman, who knows...... It turned out to be you. Speaking of this, Marquis Zhou was also full of sighs, if Zhou Yanji hadn't said this at the time, or he didn't want to meddle in his affairs at that time, he was afraid that he would regret it now!
"You mean...... I was in a coma at that time? Mrs. Lin immediately felt that something was wrong, she had always slept lightly, how could someone move her and she didn't react at all! If Marquis Zhou didn't lie, then ......
As soon as she thought of this possibility, Mrs. Lin's ruddy face, which had just recovered because of excitement, immediately turned pale again, she couldn't avoid Zhou Houye, but when something happened, the first person she thought of being able to rely on was only Zhou Houye! Just because they are husband and wife, they should be intimate, and she has been living hard with Lin Mei alone for so many years, and she has suffered from being indifferent and white-eyed, and now as soon as Zhou Houye appeared, she immediately became her backbone.
"Master Hou...... Mei'er, she may have been taken away by those people! Mrs. Lin pulled the hem of Marquis Zhou's clothes and cried silently, and she couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore.
"You...... What did you say? Zhou Houye asked tremblingly, he had just found Mrs. Lin and his daughter, and he was still looking forward to a family reunion, but now...... His own daughter, whom he had never met, disappeared again! How can this make his devastated little liver accept?!
Mrs. Lin was so shocked that her face was pale, she cried tears, and grabbed Hou Ye Zhou's hands tightly and said, "Master Hou, the Mei'er I am talking about is your biological daughter 'Zhou Yanwan'!" Where did she stay with me at an inn, but you said she only saw me, so where did our daughter go?! ”
Zhou Yanji was also stunned when she heard the news, but her mood improved for no reason, in order to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, she slowly lowered her head, and her face was full of gloom.
"Wanrong, don't worry, let's make it clear, why didn't Wan'er see her?" Zhou Hou Ye was busy comforting Mrs. Lin, although he was also shocked a lot, but it is more important to appease Mrs. Lin at present, not to mention, if Mrs. Lin can't calm down, then how can she explain Zhou Yanwan's disappearance?
When Marquis Zhou led a large number of guards to the inn that Mrs. Lin said. The inn was already empty, whether it was the shopkeeper who Lin Matchmaker saw that day or the shopkeeper's water delivery and miscellaneous, there was no one left.
Mrs. Lin really couldn't stand this painful blow. I was almost fainting when it was dark in front of me, but fortunately, Marquis Zhou supported her from behind, and commanded the guards in a deep voice, "Search for me!" ”
As soon as Marquis Zhou gave the order, the accompanying guards immediately moved, turning from the front yard to the back yard, and then from the back yard to the upstairs guest room.
"Master Hou. The subordinates found a sleeping man in the backyard, and judging by the appearance, he should have been doing chores here. He said. The guard pulled out a person from behind him, it was Feng Tianbao, who had a relationship with Mrs. Lin that day.
As soon as Mrs. Lin saw that she had seen it in the inn, she immediately ran up, and along the way, Marquis Zhou kept calling out in the back. "Wanrong. Slow down! ”
"Madam, this person is probably stunned by the incense, if there is no antidote, it will take a day and a night to wake up......" The accompanying guards also knew that this was their housewife who had disappeared for more than ten years, although the warbler Yanyan in the Hou Mansion had never been broken, but the Hou Ye never spent the night with anyone, and only lived alone in the house where it was said that he had married his wife.
Therefore, these people met Mrs. Lin as soon as they saw her. immediately understood, and everyone shouted "madam" in unison.
Mrs. Lin looked at Feng Tianbao, who had fallen asleep, but she calmed down, and silently accepted the name of those guards to her. It's just that there is still a trace of tiredness and vicissitudes in his tone, "Then wake him up, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is gone, if you can't find anyone, you're afraid that your life will not be guaranteed!" ”
Those guards were all shocked, I don't know what the identity of the main mother who suddenly appeared, although it is almost the middle of the year, but the appearance is still charming, you don't have to think about it to know that if you are young, you are afraid that you will be fascinated by many sons, but in Linshan County, a small county they have never heard of, they have been in the county for more than ten years, and the style of the whole body has not weakened in the slightest, which is inevitably a little too terrible.
Seeing this, they didn't dare to delay too much, and immediately poured antidote medicine into Feng Tianbao, and they carried various antidote pills with them all year round to ensure the safety of the masters of the Hou Mansion.
It didn't take long for Feng Tianbao's eyelids to move, and he opened his eyes in a daze, as if he still couldn't understand what was wrong with him now.
"Are you awake now?" Seeing that Feng Tianbao was awake, Mrs. Lin stepped forward with a frowning brow and asked worriedly, "Have you seen Lin Mei?" Also, how much do you know about the things in this inn, or are you simply their accomplice? ”
Feng Tianbao had just come to his senses, and he saw Lin Mei's mother asking him suddenly, and there were some people standing around who were dressed very strangely, and they looked a little like the guards of a big family, and there was a middle-aged slightly chubby man standing behind Lin Matchmaker, although he was a little blessed, but he still couldn't hide the nobility on his body, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
"Let me ask you again, have you seen Lin Mei?" Seeing that Feng Tianbao had just woken up and looked dazed, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but ask again patiently.
"This ...... Madam, are you asking Miss Lin Meilin? Feng Tianbao was about to sit up, but found that he was lying on the ground, and the guards around him surrounded him, and he didn't look like he was easy to talk to, and his face was tense.
"That's right, it's Lin Mei who talked to you last night." When Mrs. Lin said this, her tone began to become urgent, and she looked directly into Feng Tianbao's eyes and asked, "Last night, do you know what happened?" ”
Feng Tianbao wanted to ask why he appeared in the lobby of the inn, but the guys in the hands of the guards around him were not vegetarians, and when he saw him move to the left, he also moved to the left, so frightened that he didn't dare to ask why he suddenly appeared here.
"Last night...... After I finished my work in the store, I went back to my room to rest, and I don't know what happened next......"
Feng Tianbao's words are indeed not false, he finished doing the chores in the inn last night and was ready to go back to rest, recently because of the plague, there are not many people who go out and stay in the inn, so many days have only come to Lin Mei's mother and daughter, so his daily work is very easy, as long as he does some simple chores, he cleaned the inn lobby last night and then went back to his house to rest, I don't know what happened last night.
Seeing Feng Tianbao's innocent face, although she wasn't sure if what he said was true or not, it was a fact that Lin Mei was gone, and immediately said coldly, "The people in the inn kidnapped Lin Mei last night, if it weren't for it...... If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet this adult, I am afraid that I would not be standing in front of you and talking now! ”
Feng Tianbao was full of panic when he heard this, he just wanted to find a job that could support his mother at home, how did he know that not only did he run into Lin Mei, a little evil star, but now he was dragged down by the missing Lin Mei!
"Ma'am, I really don't know...... I, I only came here three days ago, what you said...... I don't know! ”
Feng Tianbao's voice was full of crying, obviously frightened by this formation.
After asking Feng Tianbao, there was still no news of Lin Mei from Mrs. Lin, and when she was angry, she asked Feng Tianbao to be taken away, hoping to learn about Lin Mei from his mouth, even if it was a little bit.
After returning to Marquis Zhou's house in Jinzhou, someone came to report that the prefect of Jinzhou had rushed to arrest the bandits who sold young women, and immediately made Marquis Zhou and Mrs. Lin feel refreshed, and they wanted to rush over to help the prefect of Jinzhou, maybe their daughter was also among them, but the next person said that he didn't know where the prefect of Jinzhou had led the troops, so he had to give up.
Zhou Yanji comforted Zhou Hou Ye on the side and said, "Father-in-law, my sister is a blessed person, and nothing should happen to me in the future......
And in her heart, she wished that something had happened to Lin Mei, so that she could become the only young lady in the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion again, although she was only an adopted daughter, her status would be much higher, at least she would no longer have to be suppressed by the "concubine" sister who had disappeared for more than ten years.
"I can only think like this now......" Marquis Zhou sighed, the expression on his face was a little gloomy, he finally found his wife, but his only daughter was gone, how could this make him not worry?
Mrs. Lin sat on the stool and looked blankly at the green jade ornaments placed on the table, and finally said after a long time, "You don't agree with the marriage I engaged Mei'er?" (To be continued.) )
