Chapter 171: Suspicion
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 178 Chapter 171 Doubt
In other words, after the guests of Juxia Mansion dispersed, Mr. Wu and his wife still did not find the figure of Li Yanxu that Governor Wang saw. Originally, Master Wu also wanted to chat more with the so-called Boss Jin and listen to some news. But on this day, except for a few words at the door, Master Wu didn't even touch Xiao Ruo's face. In the end, the two had to return home in defeat.
"Master, you said that Li Yanxu and Lin Mengyu both disappeared, would they be plotting something when they went together?" In the carriage, Mrs. Wu asked suspiciously.
"Conspiracy?" Master Wu glanced at Mrs. Wu and asked, "Didn't you say that Li Yanxu didn't know that Lin Mengyu was back?" ”
"That's what Qianrou's girl said, maybe Lin Mengyu lied to her?" Mrs. Wu felt that Lin Mengyu was a master who bewitched everyone. I think that when her Qianrou didn't recognize anything Lin Mengyu, although she was a little stupid, she never disobeyed her. It's good now, not only did he confront her, but he also instigated Zhirou's child to ventilate and report the news, and he was getting bolder and bolder.
"Probably not. Looking at the things that were sent again and again, Lin Mengyu must also be thinking about the love between the past and Qianrou. I'm afraid that their love will hurt our family! Master Wu said with some uneasiness. He had a feeling that he seemed to have returned to the days five years ago, when Prince Luo died, Prince Luo's mansion was destroyed, and Prince Cheng succeeded to the throne.
The couple began to be silent because of this sentence.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and the maids put down their footstools beside the carriage and helped Master Wu and Mrs. Wu out of the carriage.
"Bump! Touch! Touch! The little guy who was standing in front of the gate of Wu Mansion knocked harder and harder, but his hands were almost numb, but no one opened the door.
"What's going on!?" Master Wu stood in front of the carriage with a displeased face and watched this scene, and yelled at the little guy who knocked on the door.
"If you go back to the master, I don't know if this porter is unguarded, the villain knocked on the door for a long time, and no one came out." The little guy said with an aggrieved face.
"It seems that on weekdays, I am too good to you lowly minions! didn't even stay in the gatehouse to watch the door carefully, this kind of person who fishes and mixes up will be hit fifty boards tomorrow and expelled from the Wu Mansion! As soon as Mrs. Wu got out of the carriage, she heard this remark, and immediately her face stood up, and she said in an unkind tone.
"You, go to the small door to see, what's going on!" Master Wu looked at the little guy who knocked on the door just now and said.
After the little guy left, Master Wu looked at Mrs. Wu and said, "If one person can't manage the feed, let Yunyan and them help you!" ”
"Yes, the concubine knows." Although Mrs. Wu agreed, she began to feel a little resentful in her heart. At this time, she had already decided to let the person who was on duty in the concierge today receive more than twenty boards, and then be expelled from the house!
A sound of eager footsteps came from the small corridor next to it, and it was the little guy who had been sent by Master Wu to knock on the small door just now.
The little guy ran to Master Wu, bowed his head and said, "Master, no one responded at that small door!" ”
Master Wu began to react a little at this time, could it be that during the time they left, what happened to the Wu Mansion?
Secretly said, "Not good!" Master Wu lifted his breath and tapped the ground, and his body was like a flying swallow, crossing the wall and entering the Wu Mansion.
Walking into the gatehouse, two or three people were lying on the ground staggeringly.
Master Wu hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to the tip of a person's nose and sighed, alive! Then I probed the man's pulse, and it was normal! Could it be that he took advantage of the master's departure from the house and secretly drank and fell asleep? Master Wu was immediately furious, and kicked the nearest person in the stomach.
I saw that the family Ding: "Oops! With a sigh, he rolled on the ground with his stomach in his arms.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?! ~" The other two family members were also woken up by the voice of the beaten family members, and when they saw their master standing in front of them with an angry face, regardless of the three seven twenty-one, they didn't know what happened to them just now, so they immediately bowed down and bowed to Master Wu: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life......"
"What a big bold! Actually gave me sleep in broad daylight! What am I going to do with your dog's life! Master Wu said, and even these two kicks kicked the two kowtowers.
After venting, Master Wu pointed to the person who was holding his stomach and screaming just now and said, "Madame is still outside, you go and open the door." ”
The housekeeper hurriedly hugged his stomach, reluctantly got up, and walked towards the gate. Master Wu's kick just now kicked heavily on his stomach, and the pain was really unbearable.
Mrs. Wu entered the gate, and directly asked the family who went to Juxialou with the car to tie up the three of them, and then ordered: "Escort them directly into the hall!" ”
"I don't know how you become a home!" Master Wu flicked his sleeves, and without waiting for Mrs. Wu to say anything, he walked directly inside.
Mrs. Wu's face turned a little blue, and she hated these people even more in her heart.
The more Master Wu walked, the more he felt a little surprised. It stands to reason that if they returned to the house in normal times, the housekeeper would have greeted them a long time ago, why is the house so quiet today? The more Master Wu thought about it, the more wrong it became, he stopped, turned to the three people who were tied up with flowers, and asked, "What's wrong in the mansion today?" "Master Wu thought about it carefully, if it was said that these porters were secretly drinking, but why didn't he smell any wine when he went in just now, and he didn't see any wine bottles on the ground? So he went on to add, "How did you fall asleep? ”
After listening to Master Wu's question, the three people who shouted "spare their lives" stopped and began to look at each other.
Among the three family members, one of them boldly said: "If you go back to the master, the villain doesn't know!" Originally, the three of the villains were sitting in the porter talking, and when we woke up, we saw you standing in front of the villains. Master, the villain is really not lazy......" As he spoke, he began to beg for mercy again.
"Give me the shopkeeper!" Mrs. Wu glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, and continued: "Even now, you dare to quibble, I think you really don't want this dog's life!" ”
Old Man Wu looked at the family who was talking, and it didn't seem like he was telling a lie, and he didn't stop Mrs. Wu's movements, but turned around and walked towards the inside faster.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly took her subordinates and chased after her.
When Master Wu walked to the second gate, he was surprised to find that there were also two mothers-in-law lying on the ground. When you walk in and feel it, it's like falling asleep.
Master Wu didn't have the heart to wake them up, so he hurriedly continued to walk inside. "If it's a coincidence that the three porters are asleep at the same time, then why are these two mothers-in-law sleeping here?
Mrs. Wu looked at the two mothers-in-law, and motioned impatiently to the subordinates who followed behind, and hurriedly followed Master Wu. I'm afraid that today, she will definitely be severely blamed by the master!
After waking up the two mothers-in-law, there was naturally another scream and begging for mercy.
Master Wu never saw any other people sleeping on the ground along the way, but none of the maids appeared in front of him.
didn't enter the hall anymore, and Master Wu turned directly to the pantry next to him. Sure enough, just as he expected, six or seven maids were lying on the ground inexplicably.
Master Wu took a deep look at Mrs. Wu behind him, and in that look, there was no longer blame, but a lot of uneasiness, mixed with confusion.
When Mrs. Wu saw the maids, she reacted.
If those people were lazy just now, it would be impossible for all the subordinates to make an appointment to fall asleep together on the same day. Something big must have happened in the house! Mrs. Wu suddenly panicked.
Master Wu and Mrs. Wu sat nervously on the top of the hall, looking at the kneeling crowd below, with complicated expressions.
"Go, let's see if there are any other unconscious people on the ground!" Master Wu said to a few family members standing next to him.
Wu Mansion, it's messed up......
