Chapter 012: Break-in
When everyone walked from the alley to the backyard, they happened to catch up with Mrs. Chen and her servants walking out of the courtyard in a little panic.
The two groups of people met in the garden in the center of the Hou Mansion, and the grandmother who was guarding the door happened to follow behind Mrs. Chen at this time, and when she saw Wang Shaoqing and her group, she whispered a few words in Mrs. Chen's ear.
Mrs. Chen's background is not bad, when she was a girl, she was also a young lady in Bofu, although she didn't recognize Wang Shaoqing, but she knew Wang Shaoqing's official uniform, and the people he was carrying behind him, so she guessed Wang Shaoqing's identity.
Just now someone came to report that someone from Dali Temple was coming, but she still didn't believe it.
Now that I look at it, I am really a little frightened in my heart, and I can't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that the things I did were discovered?
When Mrs. Chen was panicked, Feng Lanyu was also looking at this Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen didn't write much in the original novel, but because her mother's family was the villain's party, she was also implicated a lot, and she did a lot of things that offended the male protagonist at the suggestion of her mother's family.
Not to mention anything else, just poisoning the old marquis, she is a mortal fate.
Everyone is cannon fodder, the result is the same but the process is different, such as Feng Lanyu in the original book, he is stupid to death, and the person itself is not bad.
And Mrs. Chen is purely evil and has evil retribution, and she died by herself.
Today's Mrs. Chen's life is quite good, wearing gold and silver, ruddy complexion, and the servants are surrounded by people in front of her, this posture is posing, and people who don't know still think that she is the serious lady of the Hou Mansion.
However, in her calm and dignified look, it was still difficult to hide her panic and uneasiness.
Feng Lanyu touched his chin and shook his head.
This villain is not very good.
If the acting skills are not up to par, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Wang Shaoqing stepped forward, and arched his hand to Mrs. Chen from a distance of five or six steps: "Mrs. Chen." ”
Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy, and her voice was a little cold: "You are the king of Dali Temple?" ”
Wang Shaoqing nodded: "It's the lower official." ”
Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, turned sideways, as if she was very angry, and did not want to face Wang Shaoqing: "Why, Lord Wang, seeing that my Hou Mansion is now unmanned, he took the lead and came to bully us orphans and widows?" ”
Wang Shaoqing: "......"
His face sank: "What did Mrs. Chen say this?" My Wang has been favored by the old marquis, and I have always remembered it in my heart for many years, how could I do such an ungrateful thing as being poked in the back! ”
Mrs. Chen softened her face at this time, turned her head to look at Wang Shaoqing and said: "Now the Hou Mansion is not the same as before, the people left in the mansion are some children and girls, for the sake of the safety of the mansion, I ordered the door to be closed, anyone who wants to come to visit, must submit a name before entering, now Lord Wang came suddenly, he didn't even call anyone to pass the word, so he broke in through the side door, and brought these many officials...... Most of the ladies in our house are timid, and Lord Wang's move really disturbed everyone. ”
When Wang Shaoqing heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed.
He was really impulsive and didn't think of this layer.
Even if the case is handled by Dali Temple, it is reasonable for the man or housekeeper in the house to receive it.
He rushed in with his family, which was not in accordance with the rules.
After all, it is the Hou Mansion, not the ordinary people.
Wang Shaoqing said apologetically: "It's rudeness on the part of the official." ”
Feng Lanyu frowned.
No, what's the matter with this Wang Shaoqing, it's only been a few rounds, why was he led away by Mrs. Chen?
She stood aside and said silently, "Excuse me, excuse me." ”
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Mrs. Chen's gaze was like two knives, glaring at Feng Lanyu fiercely, clearly revealing the bad message of 'I won't kill you when I have time'.
It's over, of course, that doesn't give her time to smoke.
Feng Lanyu looked at Mrs. Chen, looked at each other, Feng Lanyu unfolded a standard smile that showed eight teeth, and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, what did Aunt Chen say this, how can you say that Lord Wang 'broke in' in?" Lord Wang was obviously invited in by me. ”
Mrs. Chen was almost angry with Aunt Chen and ascended to heaven directly.
The grandmother behind her was furious, pointed at Feng Lanyu and scolded: "Presumptuous! Where did the barbarians come from to be so rude, how could you speak to Madam Chen in such a tone! ”
Xiao Li jumped up angrily, pointed at the grandmother and scolded: "Where did you come from, dare to talk to Mrs. Shizi like this!" ”
Mrs. Chen looked at Feng Lanyu angrily and sneered: "Sure enough, there is no education, what kind of master, what kind of dog he raises, barking all day long, it is better to kill him." ”
When Xiao Li heard this, she shrank spinelessly and hid behind Feng Lanyu, for fear that she would really be killed.
Feng Lanyu smiled: "Oh, it's not as good as Aunt Chen." ”
Wang Shaoqing also reacted at this time, he came to the mansion with Mrs. Shizi, and he handled the case as Dali Temple, why was he restrained by Mrs. Chen as soon as he came?
If it weren't for Mrs. Chen pressing him in the name of the old marquis, he wouldn't have panicked for a while and lost his senses.
At this moment, the head of a man poked out from the gate of the backyard, and the man poked his head out to look into the garden, and then retracted his head in a panic.
Feng Lanyu's sharp eyes saw it, and then shouted: "Stop!" ”
The man shuddered with fright, and then vanished.
Feng Lanyu was the first to catch up.
Xiaoli and Xiaozhi immediately followed.
Wang Shaoqing vaguely felt that something was not right, and motioned to the officials behind him to follow and take a look.
Mrs. Chen was even more anxious, grabbed Wang Shaoqing's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Since it is rare for Lord Wang to come once, why don't you sit down and drink tea and rest your feet first, and then go to visit the old marquis?" ”
Wang Shaoqing paused.
To tell the truth, he privately wanted to see the old marquis, after all, after the old marquis fell ill, he refused to accept outsiders, and many people who cared about the old marquis couldn't see him.
The current situation of the old marquis, outsiders can rarely find out a thing or two.
Mrs. Chen saw Wang Shaoqing's hesitation, obviously moved, so she said again: "The old marquis is in better spirits these days, and he can also drink some medicinal porridge to nourish his body every day. ”
Wang Shaoqing nodded: "If it wasn't for the help of the old marquis, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”
Mrs. Chen made a gesture of please: "Then Lord Wang......"
Unexpectedly, Wang Shaoqing suddenly interrupted Mrs. Chen's words, he stared at Mrs. Chen with some deep eyes, and asked, "Mrs. Chen doesn't ask why this official came to the door today?" Could it be that Mrs. Chen knows what she wants? ”
Mrs. Chen's smile froze, and then she said in surprise: "Oh? It turns out that Lord Wang came to the door today, not for the old marquis, but to handle the case? ”
Wang Shaoqing's face sank again.
The old marquis has been ill so far, and as far as Wang Shaoqing knows, all those who came to hand over the name post were rejected.
After he entered the door, Mrs. Chen was clearly a little nervous and angry, but what caused her attitude to change greatly.
even offered to let him see the old marquis?
Wang Shaoqing thought for a moment, and then suddenly walked out of the backyard with a few officials.
Mrs. Chen was shocked: "Lord Wang, the backyard is where the female dependents live, what are you going to do?" ”
Wang Shaoqing didn't reply: "Today, my Wang will be rude this time, if the old marquis blames one day, I will personally take the blame." ”
Mrs. Chen stomped her feet angrily on the spot, and gave the woman behind her a color.
The woman hurried away.
Mrs. Chen was very angry this time, and she brought in the people from Dali Temple, and she hated that Mr. Jiang went to find people from Dali Temple to come to the door.
Yes, she decided in her heart that the person from Dali Temple was the one that Mr. Jiang went to find.
After all, no one would have thought that Feng Lanyu would go to Dali Temple to report the case.
And Mr. Jiang just fell out with Mrs. Chen this afternoon because of the matter of the prince's study.
