3. 003: Discovery
"Master, what can I do, I can't find Wu Ying, what should we explain to the Yan family, the day of marriage is coming." In the palatial hall sat two wealthy middle-aged men and women.
The man listened to the woman's chattering voice, looked very irritable, waved the teacup in his hand to the ground, and scolded angrily, "It's not a good daughter you raised, what should you tell me now, if we can't call someone on the day of marriage, Yan Shangshu will lose face, and it won't be counted on my head, if the account book in my hand is found out, what the consequences will be, you don't know!" ”
The woman's face turned pale with fright, "Master, what can we do, we can't afford to offend Yan Shangshu." ”
"Now there are not many people in the whole house who know that Wu Ying is missing, you remember to do it for me, if it is leaked, let the Yan family know, see how I clean you up."
"Master, don't worry, no, absolutely not."
After all, Lu Chongyan was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he wouldn't be afraid of things like these women, "Come on, go and bring me Miss's maid." ”
"The slave maid Hua Mei has seen the old lady."
"Let me ask you, have you noticed any unusual behavior of the young lady lately!"
"Return, go back to the master, Miss she, she is no different from usual, after dinner, she goes back to the room to rest, rarely goes out, but the young lady usually does not allow slaves and maids to go in to serve."
"You are the one who waits close to the young lady, does she usually ask you to go out of the house to deliver letters or something?"
Hua Mei shook her head violently, this kind of thing is related to the woman's reputation, how dare she talk nonsense, "No, no, since the last time Miss suffered from the cold, she rarely goes out, and she rarely even talks to the slave maid, and usually only locks herself in the room." Yikes...... Sir, there's something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Say"
"After dinner, the lady would ask me to send an extra one to the corner of the backyard, but strangely enough, when I went to the market again, everything was eaten." This is the matter of the masters, she has never dared to ask more, it is just a matter of a meal, who will pay attention to it.
Lu Chongyan stood up suddenly, "You are so bold, such a big thing happened, say, how long has it been!" ”
"Yes, it's been many years, because it was ordered by the young lady, the slave maid, the slave and the maid dare not disobey."
"Damn slave, don't take us there soon."
"Yes, yes, yes"
"Madame, this is it."
The two mansions are separated by a wall, "Master, what are you doing here every day?" Mrs. Lu didn't see anything wrong with this.
Lu Chongyan looked around the neighborhood, "Have you brought food over these days?" ”
"Back to my lord, yes."
"But have you eaten them all?"
"Nope."
"Butler, you go to the next house to inquire, but someone is missing."
Waiting for the housekeeper to inquire, Lu Chongyan seemed to think of something, "Is the soft in the young lady's room still there?" ”
"No, it's gone."
The housekeeper came back and reported, "Master, I have inquired, the guard of the Wei family said that he didn't pay attention, but the third aunt and grandmother said something, why is the little beast not here these days, maybe it is the illegitimate son of the Wei family." ”
"Hey, what can I do, master, how could our sister-in-law make such a no"
"Shut up and go back to your room." Lu Chongyan shouted to stop her, and turned to the next person, "All the things I know today are rotten in my stomach, and these people will be sent to work in other courtyards." ”
"Yes, sir."
